[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. When comparing ACPS v APS, remember that Arlington kids are eligible for TJ, so arguably, the best and brightest of Arlington are going to TJ and all of Alexandria kids are at AC. Hence I would have expected much better results from AC given their pool is the entirety of ACPS brain trust. [/quote]

A precious few APS kids go to TJ. Overall , APS has far more students than ACPS, so this doesn’t seem like a valid argument.

If you enjoy your neighborhood and home and you’re zoned for one of the better ACPS schools, it could be worth giving the school a try. We love living in our very walkable neighborhood and have been happy with our neighborhood school. I have points of comparison since I’ve taught for many years in APS and FCPS. I’m confident that my kids are getting a comparable education. If at any point we feel it’s necessary, we’ll switch to private. That never became the case for our oldest, who is at an excellent college.[/quote]

Which ones would you consider better? LC, Mason, Brooks?[/quote]

Wasn't Brooks in the news last year for being contaminated by lead or mold or something?[/quote]
