[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great neighborhood school, not closing after a scare a few years ago. Generally the same levels of education and diversity as the other north Arlington elementary schools, though not as rich or snooty as Jamestown. More in line with Discovery and Tuckahoe.[/quote]

Agree with this.  And we really like the Principal, though we do know some with strong negative opinions, but no clear argument against her has ever been articulated to me.  I think she's just matter-of-fact and not going to bend over backwards to meet the (sometimes unrealistic/irrational) demands of every parent.  One of our kids has a 504 and we've never had any issues; in fact, she's provided valuable input and guidance in our meetings over several years.  We also loved the former AP who is now the P at Taylor, FWIW.

I expect APS will keep trying to close the school and they probably have a good argument given the numbers and proximity of other schools.  We've loved our time there, including and especially its small size, but understood they need to solve for macro numbers.  We would have been sad if they closed this year, but I'm confident the other neighborhood school we would have moved to would have been just as great (and that would be true for any of the nearby schools).  For that reason, we were not part of the parent contingent campaigning and lecturing at school board meetings, though we followed it closely.

We've loved it, but I can't imagine it was a wildly differentiated experience from any of the other N. Arlington neighborhood elementaries.[/quote]
