[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Penrose, which is right next to Patrick Henry and across Walter Reed from Arlington Heights.  I have lived there for 6 years and have a 3rd-grade student and rising Kindergartener.  The neighborhood is awesome and rich in diversity.  My kids know and play with children from a variety of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.  I feel as if I can walk to many homes at anytime to score a playdate, a beer, or a cup of coffee.  For the most part (most part, mind you), the parents and non-parents are genuine and people with whom you want to be friends.

The elementary school is excellent.  I don't know why someone would say any different.  Sure, the school does serve many more humble families than you will find in North Arlington.  But, by no stretch of the facts, has that impacted negatively on my child's life or education.  I feel as if the teachers and the principal know me by name and have a genuine interest in my children's elementary experience; not just my third-grader, but my younger child who has yet to sit in class even one day.  It just makes me glad that my kids are going there.

I am not going to get into a back-and-forth with the person who continues to knock on the school and the area.  [b]I really don't know from where that person is coming[/b].  But that person's "truth" -- Well, has not been my experience at all.  [/quote]

I hear ya. She's just trying to protect her N.Arl property value.

Signed,

A N Arlingtonian who would be more than happy to send her two precious children to any school in the county.[/quote]
