[quote=Anonymous]Arlington Science Focus is a choice school that historically attracts kids from Jamestown and one or two other North Arlington schools that make up a team. But do to capacity issues, it basically only admits kids from the neighborhood boundaries these days. It's a fine school. The "science focus" comes from one extra hour of science every week. Other schools in Arlington have different focuses -- i.e., at Jamestown its technology, and FLES. I'm not sure why you're concerned about a diverse setting -- that's not particularly relevant to educational achievement, and North Arlington schools tend to be predominately white overall. But nothing I've heard about ASFS suggests anything other than that it is a welcoming and caring community. I do think traditionally it did attract some parents who thought it was some track to TJ, but that hasn't really proven to be the case.[/quote]
