[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a good luck at the APS boundary adjustments for middle school. Your house that's now zoned for Kenmore could be redistricted under this recently-announced plan. [/quote]

+1 to this.  This board is focusing on the potential movement of Immersion to Kenmore.  What's missing is the bigger picture of the overall middle school boundary process that is going to happen this fall and go into effect in 2025.  https://www.apsva.us/engage/2023-ms-boundaries/

If you end up really wanting one over the other look very carefully at the planning unit you want to buy in and the maps that APS has out there as potential moves.

We have friends who are highly educated who are very happy with their kids' experiences at Kenmore, despite a perception that its higher level of SES diversity means it isn't as good as Swanson or other N Arlington schools.  We are at Swanson and very happy with the teachers but overall think middle school is a rough experience for all kids.  I'm also not convinced that the current so-called equity focus in our middle schools is at all preparing our kids for high school or the real world but that's another story and not what OP is asking about.

Think about high school.  Kenmore feeds to all three HS, Swanson feeds to two.  People have strong views about all three in comparison to one another and they all have pros and cons depending on what you value.
