[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, APS is most definitely in decline. Most teachers are great but Syphax hamstrings them with large classes and BS. The move to standards based grading will either be the wake up call parents need to pay attention and put a stop to it or it will put the decline on an even faster track. The rest of Arlington won’t even realized what happened until our property values start looking more like Alexandria (i.e., 200k less). [/quote] that won't happen. it'll be next sucker up for awhile.[/quote] Property values will not decline where we are next to Metro/walkability to amenities. The people moving in to these new $1.9-2.2 million+ homes are all private school families. Arlington close-in isn't totally dependent on schools for property values as much as for location to DC/amenities/Metro, etc. It's why some DC neighborhoods are so expensive even with awful DC public schools. location, location, location.[/quote]
