[quote=Anonymous]I am a black immigrant. I've lived in N. Arlington (22209) for 8 years now. My kid's school does not have many AA but they have a ton of friends. They get invited to all b-day parties. I am currently pre-arranging future 'marriages' with other mothers. We have made a lot of great friends( other school parents) because of our kids. Our kids are appreciated by parents of their friends and are sought after play dates. So if you want to move anywhere in N. Arlington, just move. However, I may not be the right person to offer an opinion because for us, the most important criteria we consider when it comes to choosing a school are test scores and then the availability of enrichment activities. We travel outside the country to broaden our kid's cultural perspective. I don't know if we even thought about diversity when we picked our neighborhood and school triangle. But we always encourage them to choose friends who are focussed and motivated, no matter who they are or what they look like. As a whole, I find Arlington to be a great place to live, raise kids and built friendships. The schools are all excellent for the most part. [/quote]
