[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your child?

If in HS, and you don't mind that Arlington does GT (not AAP), I could see some advantages. [b]Some of the lower performing HS in FC are worse than any of the high schools in AC.[/b] Some of the FC HS are larger than any of the three comprehensive HS in AC.

If in MS, I'd approach cautiously. The APS MS are tapping out on capacity. Children are getting lost in the system. A few of the HS are pretty good, but some are rocky (drugs are available, schools over capacity and disorganized).

If your child is in elementary school or younger, be very aware that the APS has not addressed its biggest challenges and over the next 10 years, the overcapacity problems are on track to become a serious disaster. There is talk about meeting capacity strain with shift schedules and online learning. Most parents I know feel that the solutions that are available have been ignored, making this scenario an increasing likelihood. [/quote]

Wakefield has lower SAT scores than any high school in FCPS except Mount Vernon.  [/quote]

True but on a positive noted Wakefiled does have higher scores than TC Williams - so they at least beat somebody![/quote]
