[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what your particular worry is.  Most Arlington schools are outstanding.  There is an overcrowding problem, however the redistricting plan for N. Arlington is complete - including one new elementary schools and large additions at two others.  Similar efforts are going to start in south Arlington next year.

The schools are not cookie cutter.  There are things that distinguish them, and there are some choice/lottery schools that are in high demand.

If you are moving from NWDC my guess is that you won't be looking at houses zoned for the most challenged schools.  
Don't just read DCUM, spend a lot of time on the APS website.  They have a page for each school with detailed test scores, demographic data and information about their focus areas and academic and extracurricular offerings.[/quote]

Are you just referring to elementary schools?  My understanding is that APS will end up redistricting kids to Wakefield in a few years, and that will be the Arlington equivalent of telling people they are no longer in boundary for Deal MS.

There's a lot less drama in APS than DCPS, but with the uneven population growth in different parts of the county, it's not stress-free, either. [/quote]
