[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are correct - there isn't really a big difference in terms of quality of education. Each has some variation within the district, with some schools better than others. The biggest difference is that Arlington doesn't do the AAP craziness that Fairfax does - they keep kids within their own schools and do pullouts. Don't get me started on the ridiculousness of bussing elementary school-aged kids all over the place and the class structure it engenders. The percentage of kids who are so "gifted" that they can't function well in a traditional classroom with some tracking is far smaller than the AAP program.

The only other thing I've noticed is that Fairfax closes more often and longer for weather stuff.

So pick the location and the house that best suits you. [/quote]

Based on your post, I believe you live in Arlington.  Your bias is showing.

You are right, but I do think that both sets of schools are good. OP shouldn't waste a whole lot of worry and stress about picking one over the other.[/quote]

I agree and posted as such.[/quote]
