[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS schools in Arlington are all very liberal and highly average.
Arlington has had a mass exodus to private in the northern part of the county.  No big deal, just people that can afford private are doing it more and more.
In Arlington forest/bluemont maybe 1/3 kids go private through middle school.  Closer to McLean the ratio is higher private.[/quote]

Do you have a citation for that stat? Anecdotally living in that neighborhood (bluemont/ashlawn) I knew no more than 3 children who went to a private (catholic) elementary school and I lived in the neighborhood for 12 years, with kids of my own. [/quote]

+1 op be careful what you listen to on dcum. There is a lot of hate for arlington on here and a lot of the opinions are not reflective of those that live there or our experiences. Arlington Forest is a great neighborhood and Ashlawn is an awesome elementary school. Many kids walk or bike to school on the trails behind the neighborhood and it is awesome. Kenmore is more diverse as a middle school so as a result you will hear mixed things but I would definitely be happy for my kids to go there. I know only one family in private, and that is one child who per parents will probably return in a year or two, other child already returned to public after covid. There was a bunch during covid and many are slowly trickling back. Everyone in my neighborhood starting kindergarten this year went to the public. A good friend used to live in arlington forest and they loved it. [/quote]
