All Arlington schools are great![/quote]

You really just can’t go wrong with any of them.[/quote]

Especially Discovery, which is presumably why a certain senior APS administrator paid a premium to live in that schools zone a couple years ago.[/quote]

Can someone please translate this??[/quote]

There’s a repeat poster who is personally offended that the Asst. Superintendent of Teaching and Learning lives in the Discovery zone. [/quote]

I don’t think it’s just one poster. She has the right to live where it works best for her family, but I have to say it didn’t look great to me.

Which schools would have been acceptable? McKinley with its 9% FARMS? Ashlawn at 19%? If she'd moved to ASFS (23%) or Oakridge (25%), would that be enough or would anything less than 70% FARMS rate still be a slight?[/quote]

Maybe one that wasn't the newest, most extravagant, and among the least integrated.[/quote]

So Nottingham or Jamestown wouldn’t have earned this kind of criticism?[/quote]

Probably would've, those are also cloistered enclaves. The point is, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. And yes, the optics are terrible. I'm a bit baffled why she moved to the same county she administers. It's a conflict of interest waiting to happen. [/quote]
