[quote=Anonymous]OP, we both work in DC and have loved living in Arlington partly because it makes for a relatively easy commute. There are lots of great neighborhoods, but I agree with PP, you could choose the school first and work from there. Related to that, keep in mind that DCUM skews very heavily towards schools with high test scores, affluent families, etc. We house hunted all over Arlington and found that we would have been happy with a lot of different options that some people on here would rather avoid. On the flip side, I have known families in the past couple of years that were very unhappy with the "best" schools (Williamsburg MS and Yorktown HS)--these schools were not a great fit for their kids/families. One nice thing about Arlington schools is that they're generally open to having you come in and take a look. If you're seriously considering a move because of schools, I'd say the first thing to do would be to call the middle schools and set up a tour.[/quote]
