Would someone mind telling me the actual neighborhoods each of the north Arl elementary schools are in? We're looking to move, but I never know which exact neighborhood I'm in when I drive over there.
Thanks. |

| Perhaps if we knew how you planned to use the information we could help you more? While each elementary school is in a particular neighborhood, not all of the neighborhoods have elementary schools, the schools doesn't necessarily cover all of the children in that neighborhood, and they will cover parts of other neighborhoods as well. |

| That's pretty much impossible. Breaking it up by zip code would be easier, but there are still areas that overlap. |

| And the map I posted before was out of date. Check this, effective as of September 2016. http://www.apsva.us/cms/lib2/VA01000586/Centricity/Domain/168/ES%202016%20Offical%20Map%2001222015.pdf |

| Ah ok. Yes, I see how it is not cut a dry. I think I just need to be better acquainted with the area in general. |

14:17 here - Longbranch is located in North Arlington, but kids attend from both North and South Arlington.
You'll notice that some of the elementary schools split-feed into more than one middle school and/or high school. So you'll have Planning Unit 1, 2, 3 and 4 going to Glebe. But planning units 1 and 2 will go to Williamsburg and Yorktown and planning units 3 and 4 will go to Swanson and Washington-Lee. The new Elementary (Discovery) will pull kids from Nottingham, Jameston and Tuckahoe (not Taylor) and it will have Key as its immersion option. |

Thank you for sharing this |

Parts are inaccurate though. For example, I live in Clarendon, but my assigned elementary is Taylor (not Science Focus). |

The GIS map on the APS a website is great -- tells you current year and upcoming redistricting. We relied upon that during our n. Arl house hunt and confirmed with the county when we were serious.
Confirmed not because OMG one school is better than another, but because we just wanted to know for sure. |

Op here- yeah, I'm not super worried. I don't feel we can really go wrong. Just want to what is going where. I suppose my biggest issue it that I never know where I am when I drive around. I never know which neighborhood I'm in. I grew up in a very cookie cutter suburban area. I really love that Arlington isn't like that. I'll just download a neighbor map next time before I head out. Thanks. |

The little 1940s houses in Arlington with their additions that all look alike have always seemed very cookie cutter to me. |
