[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous Taylor parent. One thing I’ll note is that Jamestown and some other NA schools get thrown around on here for self important parents etc. I don’t know if that’s true or not. But Taylor never gets mentioned in that way. In fact Taylor almost never gets mentioned at all. I found it a pretty down to earth community. [/quote]

DP I don't hear things about Taylor parents, either.  However, over the years, I have heard multiple Taylor parents whose kids (girls, particularly) chose to transfer to Kenmore for middle school specifically to separate from their Taylor peers.  Otherwise, I agree with the other responses that they're all pretty much the same with Jamestown being even more affluent and this outsider's perception is that the Jamestown PTA is particularly wary of letting others know the true extent of its resources.  They are not necessarily self-centered and selfish; they do demonstrate interest in helping (and have helped) schools less resourced especially through some partnering with Randolph ES in the south.  It's just a different "vibe" than from the other schools across north Arlington.

Despite the similarities in student body and community demographics, there can be some differences in the atmosphere created by the admin at each school just like any other school you may go to in Arlington or anywhere else.  But generally, there aren't significant differences between any of those schools you're looking at.  I'd suggest the middle schools may have greater differences.[/quote]
