Yeah moving is so easy and cheap.  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

I don't know who the OP is anymore and if this is just one person intent on being contrary.  But if so, OP, you've lost any empathy I had for you with all of your fault-finding in every single comment and suggestion made to you.  If you truly are so upset about the size of your kid's high school and it really is going to be a horrible, failing experience for your child, then I can't help but believe you would figure out a way to move to a school more to your liking.  You gotta give something - either a longer commute or a bigger high school.  If you insist on being in Arlington, these are your choices.  It's a hassle; but it is far from impossible to move to the Wakefield zone. Your home will sell in a heartbeat in the WL district and you can surely find a comparable home somewhere in south Arlington. Or don't.  I no longer care.  But if you're unwilling to do something about your undesirable situation, then stop with all the "woe is me" complaining here.[/quote]

For someone worried about academic rigor, I hardly see Wakefield as an answer to OP?  https://www.greatschools.org/virginia/arlington/132-Wakefield-High-School/  Sure you can say its fine for the top students, but its clear the focus of the school will not be for challenging and differentiating for the kids that are already doing well.  Its also overcrowded.  It seems like OP would do better at a Mclean or W school, but I think prices in Mclean and Bethesda have actually risen faster than Arlington (partly because of the mess that is APS?).[/quote]
