[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the ratings for the schools in these three neighborhoods to be confusing. People talk about Arlington schools as being some of the best, but I'm not seeing that in the scores for the schools here. Am I missing something here? What have been your experiences with the local schools in these three neighborhoods?[/quote] Sigh. Test scores aren't everything and average scores are pulled down when a school has a large % of English language learners and economically disadvantaged students. The schools I presume you're talking about probably have higher % of those students than the Nottinghams and Jamestowns you're comparing them to.[/quote] +1. Like everywhere else, APS student performance seems to track parental income/education levels. If the schools are “good”, it’s generally because the parents are in a position to make up any shortfalls. [/quote]
