Can someone give me their thoughts on Key Elementary in Arlington?

[Anonymous]

We are considering buying a house in this school district. We currently live in the Taylor elementary school district and have heard from parents that they really like Taylor. We do not know very much about Key. Our DD is only 1 but we plan to stay in the new house through elementary school.

Thoughts?

Also - the junior high school in the district is Swanson. We are currently in the Williamsburg district. I hear through the grapevine that Williamsburg is "better" than Swanson. Is that really the case, and if so, why?

Elementary:
People like it. If you aren't interested in Spanish Immersion, I think you are also zoned for science focus.

Middle:
"better" just means the parents earn more and the population is whiter - "better" is just code. Both are good, and from my perspective - further south in the same town - I don't see a difference between them.
