[quote=Anonymous]We really like Arlington. Our elementary school is overcrowded, but we have not seen an increase in class size, rather an increase in trailers. Since I could not care less about trailers, I feel the impact of overcrowding on my child has been nil so far. My children attend two of the more "diverse" schools in Arlington, but our middle school is disappointingly homogenous.

Overall, we have been very pleased here, but since I have never lived in MoCo, I can't compare. I do know several people who have taught in both Arlington and FC schools and they all prefer the smaller Arlington school system to the larger FC system. But I'm not sure if the things they prefer about teaching in Arlington are things that are better just for teachers or if they are better for students as well.

I will say that I have noted handwringing among parents of preschool children about the terrible overcrowding and need for the dreaded trailers and maybe they should move to Falls Church City. ~shrug~[/quote]
