[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thought all Arlington neighborhood  elementaries  were introducing Spanish now.  But I can't keep up with the daily changes and musings of this most peculiar school system.[/quote]

They all have "FLES" (Foreign Language for Elementary Students), which in Arlington is Spanish.

Most schools will face boundary changes. APS claimed when they rezoned elementaries in No. Arlington in 2015 and supposedly Discovery elementary was sufficient to address the overcapacity problems. That seems unlikely given that the APS Board overode the assumptions of the demographer they hired (to downplay the number of incoming students.) I suspect there will be more rezoning, as is already is obvious at McKinley. APS can model all it wants on paper, but at the end of the day the population is here and is enrolling its students.

I'd rethink twice about buying in Arlington for the schools at all. If you're moving for the location, that cannot change. But the school system is overflooded with kids and the county has looked the other way instead of addressing these problems.[/quote]
