[quote=Anonymous]You should sign up for the 22204 listserv on yahoo - I'm on it from when I was planning to buy a house there, and there are a bunch of people who live in Douglas Park and may have kids at Randolph.

Do you love your neighborhood?  The test scores are lower at Randolph (and some other S. Arl schools) because the population is poorer (high FARMS rate - 77% last year), more ESL and more hispanic than the schools in North Arlington.  It's a Title I school.  Chances are, white children perform about the same as at other schools.  Looks like 79% of white students passed the SOLs in Reading and Math, vs. 93% in Arlington and 82% in the State.  https://p1pe.doe.virginia.gov/reportcard/report.do?division=7&schoolName=1705

If you want to stay in South Arlington, I've heard that Patrick Henry (Penrose) and Oakridge (22206 near Crystal City) are a little more diverse in their mix, both racially and economically, whereas Randolph is about 10% Caucasian (56% Hispanic) and 77% FARMS.  The average for Arlington last year was about 47% Caucasian and 32% FARMS.  Otherwise, you pretty much can't go wrong in North Arlington, though you definitely will pay a lot more for a house.[/quote]
