[quote=Anonymous]Not sure why there is so much anger here towards Jamestown. OP there are a lot of secretly jealous people in Arlington so you better get used to it. There are many nice people as well. We are zoned for Tuckahoe (but my kids go to ATS) and my friend’s kids are zoned for Jamestown. They are not ultra rich and she owns one of the smaller homes right next to the school. They seem to love the community atmosphere of the school. It is smaller than many of the schools in Arlington and all the families seem to know each other and watch out of each others kids. It is very idyllic in that sense. As a foreigner it reminded me of the suburban America I see in movies and tv shows :) Quality wise it has the same reputation as all the schools in that corner of North Arlington (Tuckahoe, Nottingham etc). I will say that if you are not white your kid may feel left out. But as for it being the whitest school in Arlington, while that is technically true, all the nearby schools are pretty white as well :)  You will find more private schools in the Jamestown neighborhood as opposed to other neighborhoods. But enough kids go to public that Jamestown still feels like a neighborhood school with neighborhood kids. [/quote]
