[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where did you go? I have one child you is probably TAG material and one with special needs. I do think we need to leave ACPS but I'm really struggling with where to do. Fairfax suburbs aren't really my thing and Arlington is beyond our price range.[/quote]

Even though the demographics aren't too different, the middle schools in South Arlington seem to fare better with parents that Hammond and GW.  If you can afford Alexandria, you ought to be able to afford South Arlington.  [/quote]

That's true. The annual satisfaction surveys by APS show that the vast majority of students and parents at TJ, Gunston, and Kenmore middle schools are very pleased. If you're looking for an IB middle school, TJ has successfully integrated the program within the school's curriculum. The building was recently renovated, and the principal is well-liked. Students zoned to the North Arlington middle schools occasionally transfer to the South Arlington middle schools for their magnet programs.

That's too bad that the middle school reforms in Alexandria are having mixed results (based on what I've read on this forum). GW is so close to many Del Ray families and it should be an excellent neighborhood school, despite the overall demographic mix that leans low income.[/quote]
