[quote=Anonymous]Our neighborhood feeds to Ashlawn and W-L, but to Swanson for middle school.  Parents we know love Ashlawn.  It is more diverse than the schools in 22205 and 22207 with a slightly higher FARMS rate, but the teachers are apparently excellent and the parent community is active and involved.  It is slated for an addition beginning in the next year.

W-L is also highly regarded.  It too is more diverse than Yorktown which is the other north Arlington high school.  It has the advantage of an IB program, if you would be interested in that down the road.

I don't know as much about Kenmore.  It isn't as highly considered as Swanson or Williamsburg, though.

One thing to keep in mind is that, due to the population bubble in N. arlington, APS is going through a major redistricting effort right now at the elementary level that will go into effect in the fall of 2015.  Expect that in a few years the same thing will happen at the middle and high school levels.  If you're on the south side of Ashlawn, it likely won't impact your zoning at the elementary level, but take a look at the APS More Seats for More Students page if you are interested.[/quote]
