[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The overcrowding in Arlington is everywhere -- but keep in mind that Arlington class sizes are the lowest in the NoVA area so that what is overcrowded here might be technically okay in Fairfax.

Do you have a neighborhood list-serve?  I'd reach out to people that way just to get some contacts.  You could also contact the PTA, but they're likely to point you to happy families only. [/quote]

Nice jab, but over crowding in Fairfax County is above 20 students per class which is the same as most of arlington.[/quote]

Actually, Arlington has smaller classroom sizes than Fairfax County.  Apples to Apples.  Look at the class sizes at Chesterbrook, Kent Gardens and Haycock and compare them to Nottingham, Jamestown and Tuckahoe.  I live in Chesterbrook's district and the largest classroom my children had was 34 and the smallest was 25.  Friends in Arlington have it spread between 20-25.  That is a big difference.  I think 20-25 is the sweet spot- not tool large and not too small.  [/quote]
