[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am happy about our ranking because I like our schools even though my kids attend a south Arl school. What is of concern to me is that I don't want this ranking to cause more people to move into this area and contribute further to the overcrowding issues we're currently dealing with. I have a friend who works in education, after moving here she commented how our worst schools would be best schools where they came from and marvels at our bickering between north/south schools.

PP, which one are your kids in if you don't mind? We are zoned for Drew though a year or two away still, so I always like to hear positive feedback about south arl.[/quote]

We went from Key to Gunston. We love both schools[/quote]

For the Key --&gt; Gunston poster, do the majority of Key students continue on to Gunston?  We're at Key now and it's a bit of a hike to get to Gunston from our neighborhood (we lotteried in).  That said, we're really excited about how DD's spanish is progressing and I'm hoping more and more that she'll want to continue.  Am I right that people who talk trash about south arlington schools mostly don't know what they're talking about?  I'd like to think Gunston is a great opportunity for us to continue the immersion program.[/quote]

You have to visit the school to get an idea. But the majority of Key student follow on to Gunston after Key. Most (4 out 7) of my DC's teachers are in constant contact with us, keeping us up to date with what's going on in class. My is loving his life there currently. The school has a nice mix of kids, it is changing fast. The school environment is friendly, kids seems to be enjoying themselves from the looks of it.

Being far in North Arlington will not be a problem as your kid will be taken the school bus with most of their friends from Key as my kid currently do. I am very happy with this school so far. We are zoned for WMS and we like it here better. [/quote]
