[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I think what is so offensive about the original post is the idea that nothing in the DC public options compares to Arlington public schools.

I am personally very impressed with Arlington Public schools and if I left DC I would definitely consider it.

I am one of the people that is very happy with my child's upper NW school, which OP called out in the title as not even close.  Other people through moving, lottery luck, or some combination of luck and persistence have found schools that work for them.  That is not denying DCPS warts, that is saying there is some good that on balance is as good or better than what Arlinton has to offer and if you can find it for many it is worth staying in the city and it is not accurate to brush everything DC has to offer as inferior to all Arlington schools.

I will admit nothing in DCPS comes close to my understanding of HB Woodlawn as a middle/high school option.  But that too is a lottery and given my luck in lotteries I would not move just to take the chance my kids could get in.
