We all like to trash APS here; and sure APS makes it easy and gives us lots of material. But come on. "in our lifetime"? Either the system tanks and people withdraw until enrollment evens out, OR, they put it off as long as possible and try shift schedules or massive DL to avoid it. All those alternatives are going to be disastrous admissions of failure, and that will become apparent after a year or two. If that happens the system will find the political will to build the high school because the alternative would be to admit that APS is second-rate and more like ACPS than FFX. The central office and County Board can't abide that; their entire self-concept is based on Arlington being special and better. Now, I think recent years show us they are more concerned with the perception of being better than the actual reality, but reality has a way of catching up and breaking through perceptions like that. When that happens they'll decide to do something about it.  [/quote]

Even if you are right, a decade's worth of kids will be screwed. At this point the soonest they could bring a new full comprehensive HS online is probably 2028.  Maybe.  We were pushing for a 4th high school as early as 2014 based on the bubble of kids that were already appearing in the lower grades.[/quote]
