[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck 12:02. I hope it goes well. I could have written that verbatim when my oldest started K five years ago. We gave up last year. I'm skeptical that 10-20 middle class families can fix this. You need drastic redistricting around some of those schools. [/quote]

Agreed, and we're 8 years in (although still in APS and our oldest is in a south Arlington middle school now and doing fine). We wanted to be one of the middle class families who helps make a difference, but there needs to be a critical mass, and to break the cycle (of small numbers of people trying and giving up and choicing out), the school board needs to at least redo boundaries and better yet do some serious busing.

And the County Board needs to help by being more proactive about preserving AH where it is being lost in North Arlington (Westover), and integrating AH in North and South Arlington into neighborhoods where little to none exists (I'm looking at you Lee Hwy and Arlington Ridge) instead of continuing to concentrate it where it already exists on the west Pike.
