[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WOTP can be a worse commute downtown than crossing the bridge from parts of Arlington. Looking myself, and I have a hard time understanding what the benefit of paying to be near Deal and JR.  Arlington has well-funded schools with solid cohorts. For out of bounds options you have to look at TJ v. Walls/Banneker. And then for college, in-state tuition at UVA is superior to DC Tag. [/quote]

Arlington RE is also really expensive, and not everyone is committed to sending their kids in state for college. And having a lot of friends with kids in APS, I am confident that the quality of education my kids got/are getting at JR is at least as good as what’s on offer at Yorktown, W-L, etc.[/quote]

Sorry, but this just isn’t true.  I’d send my kids to JR in a heartbeat, because I don’t think kids necessarily need to go to the “best of the best” if they have committed and involved parents, but by every objective measure Yorktown and W-L are better schools.  It’s kinda laughable to suggest otherwise.   [/quote]

I'm talking about the experiences of students at these schools. Literally, comparing what our kids are doing in the same classes, quality of teachers, etc. [/quote]
