I love this school. I went to school in colorado my fresh and soph year and there was nothing good about that school. I thought high school was just supposed to suck. This school is the complete opposite. I love my classes, I love the teachers, the kids are also great around here. I have nothing negative to say.

I am a senior at Washington-Lee and I first moved to Arlington before the start of my freshman year. I moved from a town where the entire student body was Catholic and white. W-L is the opposite. I enjoyed going to school with such a diverse student body. One time I was part of a presentation on diversity in English class, and ironically every one of the five people in my group was of a different ethnicity. In addition to the diversity, the faculty is so dedicated to the students and making their experience as enjoyable and successful as possible, teachers included. The classes at W-L are as rigorous as you want them to be, depending upon if you choose to take AP or IB classes and how many. I truly treasure my experience at W-L and I am proud to say I will be W-L alumni in only three months!

We moved to Arlington in 2004 primarly due to the excellent schools. W-L has not disappointed us. I have 2 students currently attending and it has been a terrific experience. Teachers have been excellent overall and the school is wonderful now that the new building is finished. We have not been disappointed. W_L is a terrrific school.

I love this school! My child is a freshman. They made it very easy to transition from middle school to high school. Most of the teachers are top notch, and the principal really makes the school.

I have two children at W-L and I am very impressed by the faculty, the available curricula, and the exceptionally good management of issues related to racial, ethnic and gender diversity. All of the Arlington high schools are first rate due to solid school board leadership and community support, but having Principal Gregg Robertson puts W-L a cut above.

We moved here from Georgia; W&L officials made disparaging comments about the schools we came from, even though they were highly rated. They failed to tell us some of our options, told us we were not eligible for some things that we were, and made it extremely difficult to mesh my childrens' previous classes in with W&L's. I had to go all the way to the school board to get my children into the classes they were eligible for. The quality of the school is good, but I found the officials to be arrogant and unhelpful.

So many opportunities for students of all abilities and interests. W-L has something for everyone. A rare find that the school offers a full complement of both IB and AP courses. Well supported by the community.

W-L is an incredibly diverse school. The school population offers our children real world diversity experience and the education is superb. Students can choose standard, advanced placement and International Baccalaureate Programs. The school offers a variety of experiences through multiple levels of education as well as extra curricular activities. The administration and teachers are well rounded and the school is actively supported by its parent community. It is a hidden treasure in Arlington and has provided our community with outstanding young citizens.

This high school is a secret treasure, offering valuable diversity and academically more rigorous than its 'higher profile' sisters of Yorktown and H-B Woodlawn program
