[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a myth that South Arlington schools are less competitive or less pressure. Maybe that’s true in immigrant communities but demographically there isn’t much difference between the upper middle class whites who live in the even versus odd zip codes. The majority tend to be type As who were drawn to DC. There is very little chill in Arlington in this demographic. Maybe the evens resent the odds a little bit for having a more homogeneously achievement-oriented cohort in many of the odd zip code schools.[/quote] There's a huge diff. South Arlington parents are anxious about basics: getting their kid a decent education in schools focused on needy populations. In NA that is a nonissue and parents are focused on getting "the best" of everything for their kids and have the money to do it.[/quote]
