[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MacArthur is a great school. Do call and ask if they've reached capacity for your child's grade. As other poster said, there are plenty of other good elementary schools in Alexandria even if MacArthur is full. Once you are enrolled, you are set for that school--don't need to cross your fingers every year. If MacArthur doesn't have an immediate opening in your child's grade, you have the option to be put on a wait list, and then you can transfer when there is an opening. [/quote]

Exactly correct.  But you might not want to.  The likely adjacent-district schools on the east and north sides of the MacArthur district are very good; at least a few families have been diverted to Maury and Mason, and parents who are sent there typically don't want to pull even if a space does open up.  If there's a sib, ACPS will cross-enroll the sibs at the same school.

And you will not regret a decision to move to Alexandria because of the schools.  There's one regular participant on these chat boards who disagrees and will likely log on soon to reply.  We've had really wonderful experiences with our DD's ACPS elementary, and we are keeping her in ACPS for middle.  Alexandria is fabulous and you will love it!
