It depends - for some people, that's not a big deal at all.  Arlington offers a lot of excellent county-wide or semi-county wide options (like Science Focus) and the kids do indeed go on to different middle and high schools.  In some ways, it's refreshing -- it enables some kids to get a "fresh start" socially etc.[/quote]

To each her own, I guess.  I do like the idea of a school pyramid where the kids stay together.  Having to repeatedly "get a fresh start" socially can be rough on kids.   [/quote]

I picked Science Focus. but it wasn't solely the schools.  I wanted to live in a 'city/urban' environment after leaving DC.  Buying in boundary for Key/Science Focus means we don't even use our cars.

IMO-- they are both excellent schools.  I really don't think you can go wrong in North Arlingon.  The kids will get an excellent education in either pyramid.

Swanson is our middle school and W-L HS and I am very happy with them too.[/quote]
