Washington Liberty High School

My daughter went to WL and then went on to UCLA, where they accepted the 50 college credits she earned through the AP and IB programs. This is an outstanding school. I don't know how great schools came up with a score of 5 out of 10.

I don't know how Great Schools has come to the scoring number that they currently give this high school, but I do know that it is an inaccurate score if it displays anything less than a 9.5 out of 10. I am surprised that they are legally allowed to link with so many online pseudo-realty websites like Redfin, Zillow and the like. Our country's lax regulations on Internet commerce may be the cause. It's high time our officials stop the billionaires grab on public resources and start supporting their constituents and their public schools. As parents, we have been very pleased with the Arlington County Public School system. The parents, teachers, student body, volunteers and some administrators are what continue to keep it such a strong school system. Our kids experience at several schools has proven this to be true.We moved twice in Arlington so our kids experienced two middle schools and two high schools (Gunston, Swanson, Wakefield, Washington Liberty) and all were excellent schools. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma Programmes were excellent investments, so I don't understand why these are not listed in the ratings. Perhaps, GreatSchools lack real people doing the actual hard work of researching and left it to lazy artificial intelligence.In summary, don't pay attention to Great Schools and all these other n'e'er-do-wells and come see these schools for yourself. Apparently, our parent reviews aren't factored heavily like they should be.Washington Liberty is an excellent school. Our children have gone on to very successful university programs and now have professional careers far exceeding our expectations.

the is the best school i have ever went to!!!

Both our daughters graduated from W-L. Both were not full IB but did just fine in college. They wanted to each enjoy extra curricular activities while being able to do their homework. Our oldest graduated from out of state private college, and got a job. The youngest went to college info day in her sophomore year, after coming back, enrolled her junior classes to have her transcript college prep ready. The youngest graduated Summa Cum Laude and I don't know how that happened other than she is very organized. Congrats to W-L on their success. Recommend reaching out for help if needed.

Terrific, All three of my girls went to WL and had a terrific experience. They went to great colleges. They were all in the IB program which I do not see mentioned up top in the ratings system at all. In fact totally surprised about the ratings here. This seems totally out of whack and not a valid way to rank any school. I have no idea how you all rank or what credentials your group even has. This looks like a site that is not relevant anymore since this ranking is so far from reality.
