[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people really move if their local school declines in quality, or do majority of people just accept it and take their lumps? We attend an APS middle school which is highly regarded but has been a total train wreck, and with the mishandling of the high school overcrowding I'm really skeptical of how our WL experience will be. But the prospect of moving is daunting, and with price so high I fear we would need to move somewhere like Loudoun to afford anything zoned for a good school. And who knows if its actually better? Wish we could afford private, and so frustrating because we moved to Arlington from DC because of the "good" schools, which apparently was faded glory from years past.[/quote] People generally make the best decisions and do the best they can for their families based on whatever factors they choose, by factors (like employment) that choose for them, or combination of all. But this is really a stupid question. You know yourself that you moved for school quality - you moved from DC to Arlington because of the schools. So what is the real purpose of your post?[/quote]
