[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who have switched from Alexandria to Arlington, in what year did you make the switch (i.e., elementary, middle, high school?) and what were the pros and cons of the switch? 
  [/quote]

We did this before middle school.

Pros: Arlington schools are dramatically superior in programming, parent engagement and resources. We were really shocked as people who trick themselves into thinking ACPS is just fine have never experienced anything else. From enrichment programs in ES to school plays to science opportunities in the outdoor lab to TJ as an option, APS just operates on a completely different level. Ask any of the plethora of Alexandria parents who have made the switch.

Cons: Overcrowding and Affluenza.[/quote]

Overcrowding, as in big schools, or overcrowding, as in large class sizes (or both)?[/quote]

APS doesn’t have large class sizes; they are capped. Many of the schools themselves are over capacity, which bothers some people more than others. [/quote]
