Yorktown High School

• Arlington Public Schools, VA
• 9-12
• 273 reviews

Alum: This school is a great preparation for college. The classes are challenging, but the teachers are very knowledgable. The students are taught responsibility through freedom and creativity. The school is just large enough that you can find your niche without being overwhelmed. By senior year, one will know just about everyone in their grade, if not school body. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities, and the staff encourages students to start new organizations if they wish. The school lunches are a bit boring, as are most schools. The school was recently renovated so everything they have is state of the art!

Swanson Middle School

• Arlington Public Schools, VA
• 6-8
• 6 reviews

Alum: The county is crazy about test scores, so they really push everyone to take harder math classes, but overall, this school is great. The teachers care a lot about what they do, the area is nice, and the students are always learning and taking advantage of the opportunities there. I spent all of my three years of middle school at Swanson, and although not all of the kids were nice, it gave me an incredibly strong foundation for the rest of my academic career.

Parent: I grew up in the area and attended to Oakridge ED, so I am partial to it. That said: my child has loved the teacher, counselors, admins and all Staff! The pta is a great group that works to include all. I love their motto - we take care of ourselves, we take care of each other, we take care of this place. It would be a better world if we all followed that!

Campbell Elementary School

• Arlington Public Schools, VA
• PK, K-5
• 1 review

Niche User: As an EL School, there are many opportunities to reach students in ways that speak to them. By not relying on worksheets, but on hands-on, real-world teaching and examples, our kids embrace ownership of their own learning and reach their potential. Emphasis is placed on community, leadership, and support for one another. Problems are solved through community involvement and diversity is respected and encouraged. Campbell kids are more capable of presenting their work and their ideas at the Middle School level than many of their peers. And, we have integrated the outdoor spaces into teaching curriculum in innovative and memorable ways.

Junior: I’ve been going to Wakefield for 3 years now and it’s been a blast! The people in there are nice, friendly and polite. Most of the other students are friendly too. The food for lunch is pretty ok, the teachers are mostly nice and understanding, the staff is pretty friendly too. One of my issues was having teachers from other countries who’s teaching was pretty extreme in terms of the amount of work and tests/exams. I feel very safe in the school, nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened in the halls during the last three years. Wakefield has some of the best clubs, there’s something for everyone.

Niche User: It was the middle school that I went to. It was ok, but it could have been better. The mascot was the weirdest bee I ever saw. Sometimes, the PE class was great, but it was a really good experience overall and you should go to this school if you want to.

Middle School Student: Okay okay, it's only my first year at Kenmore Middle School and it's really good! ( except for the 3 stairs of flight we have to take everyday ). The teachers really understand us and helps us out with any difficulties. There are lots of fun events throughout the year and although it's crazy sometimes, gotta say I love 'em. They're also VERY diverse!
