[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the same question about whether to stay in Arlington, But [b]frankly[/b] I don't see many better options at the public level nearby. I value our quality of life (less traffic, shorter commute, most things nearby, close to DC, more time spent with family, walkable communities) too much to move to MoCo on FFX. We can't afford private, so we are just going to have to stick it out. There are some positives about APS even now, but yes, the situation is getting beyond worrisome. [/quote]

Honestly, I think that site is full of shit.[/quote]

It probably cuts a bit too close to home.

In any case, both FCCPS and FCPS have better public schools than APS and are nearby.  If you're prepared to accept inferior schools for a shorter commute, own it. [/quote] in this area “nearby” can add 30 minutes to your commute[/quote]

It’s worth it.  Arlington just doesn’t know what do about its schools.  The need to cater to the whims of rich northerners combined with a faux-seeming nod to affordable housing has left them in a terrible place.  And no one has any answers.[/quote]
