[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose McLean over N. Arlington for a few reasons. First, both school systems absolutely have their problems and are overcrowded, and FCPS is losing great teachers everyday $$$ to Arlington and Loudoun. That said, with Arlington being so much smaller than FCPS, we felt that you'd probably be more likely to get a "surprise" at some point in Arlington than would be likely in McLean. Our McLean elementary is far from Tysons and pretty well insulated by a blanket of cash, for miles. Who knows what the next 15 years will bring and it will only take one hot shot superintendent in Arlington to do some crazy redistricting that iwould be deemed more fair to lower income students. In other words, if they wanted to bus kids from South Arlington to North Arlington for elementary school, it wouldn't be nearly the difficult logistical undertaking that it would be in FCPS.  I also agree that Yorktown is slipping. [/quote]

Yeah. Arlington, I think, is way more likely to end up with a creative solution of this nature. [/quote]

Here's hoping. Lots of really bad press this year. It would be great to see some action on this. [/quote]
