[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The longer-term implication is whether, as South Arlington gets redeveloped (as seems inevitable), it will attract families who'll send their kids to the public schools or, instead, a growing numbers of residents without children, like some gentrifying DC neighborhoods. [/quote] The gentrifying neighborhoods in DC are actually attracting lots of families. Affluent, mostly white families with kids are moving into Woodridge, Brookland, Petworth and other formerly African American neighborhoods as the older residents retire and move out. While there are decent elementary and charter school options, after 6th grade there aren't many good public schools except Deal, Wilson, School W/o Walls, and Banneker.[/quote]
