[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread because my 8th grader has been accepted to the IB program at Washington-Lee. We are zoned for Yorktown and have a child there. Our Yorktown kid is not real studious and is still making mostly A's with a few B's. Our 8th grader is a more ambitious student who likes learning, wants to be challenged, etc. so we thought the IB program would be good for him. But now I'm hearing from people who live in the W-L district how overcrowded it is, it's difficult to get the classes you want, and they say we should stay at Yorktown. Any current W-L parents who can comment?[/quote]

I'm a current W-L parent who lives in Yorktown district.  We are thrilled with W-L.  My child is in the IB program (which really doesn't fully start until junior year) and has never had an issue getting into his desired classes.

Our second child just got into HB,  and may attend there, rather than Yorktown.

Living in Yorktown district, we know plenty of people there, and most have been happy.  Not as happy as the W-L parents/students that we know, though.  Two of my child's colleagues are transferring to w-l from Yorktown next year, and one did last year.[/quote]

Count me as another one who is zoned for Yorktown and would rather be at W-L, choosing Wakefield instead because kiddo didn't get into W-L.[/quote]
