[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great neighborhood school, not closing after a scare a few years ago. Generally the same levels of education and diversity as the other north Arlington elementary schools,[b] though not as rich or snooty as Jamestown[/b]. More in line with Discovery and Tuckahoe.[/quote]

Not a Nottingham parent, but we did sports a couple of years ago with a team that was all Nottingham kids. The group was very friendly and insular, to the point of exclusion of the two kids that were not from that school, so you do have some friendly folks. Once they knew we didn't go to Nottingham and we'd been randomly put on the team, they were nice enough to the kids, but totally excluded the parents. Even the nanny who came to the practices and games was the only person who would speak with us, and even she was shocked that we lived south of 50 and had to deal with these parents.

In another encounter, I had a Nottingham parent actually gasp and clutch her pearls and accuse me of child neglect by living south of 50... So, that's all to say that [i]some[/i] of them are snooty.

We get all kinds here in Arlington. Plus, you'll be in the in-crowd there. I hope you find the nice ones.[/quote]

As a Nottingham parent, I totally agree that there are some not-so-nice parents. Some of them reminded me of Mean Girls. I was able to find the nice ones though.[/quote]
