Yorktown High School

Posted November 4, 2007

Yorktown is the best school ever. five months ago whem I stepped in this country, I did not know if i could fit in this new environment. Yorktown helped me get through the barricades. I could not possibly have asked for a better school. And now when my parents want to move to Fairfax, my answer was that you coul move but I was not going anywhere. Come on! I can't leave this school. Even if I have to live alone.

We moved from Fairfax County to Arlington for the sole reason of putting our child in this school. it is absolutely amazing. we have always done private schools and this school is by far above and beyond anything we have ever experienced. great teachers who are willing to communicate with you, respect towards the kids, and overall attitude of the staff is amazing. the pta has a high number of parents willing to join and participate.

As a parent you can't ask anymore from a school. When moving to Arlington, we made sure that we moved into the Yorktown district because no school in the county can match Yorktown. Academics are the number one concern in this school. If your son/daughter has the opportunity to take an AP class, they will realize it is college level material and that no class is taken as a joke. Whenever my daughter is struggling in class, help is ALWAYS offered after school or during lunch. The level of commitment from teachers to administration at Yorktown is unmatched. They really stand for the betterment of the individual. Athletically, Yorktown is always competitive in EVERY sport. Losing is a rarity and success is always found. School preaches playing with class and won VHSL sportsmanship award for their efforts. Read the grammatical errors from other school reviews and you'll see the system works!

Yorktown has more than prepared my daughter for a rigorous academic college; it has inspired her to seek excellence in ways that extend beyond the academic arena. It's AP classes, in some ways, have been tougher than some my husband and I had in name-brand/academically challenging universities. In a sense, after a student has been to a school such as Yorktown, he or she needs to apply to an Ivy or super rigorous university to keep being challenged. An average and slightly above average college will frankly, be boring to somone who has gone through Yorktown's AP track in a cosmopolitan city. Kudos.
