[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people are moving for schools, they are moving to FFX Co. [/quote]

Come on, plenty of families move from DC to Arlington for schools without the bad FFX Co. commutes to office buildings downtown.  We moved to Lyon Park for Thomas Jefferson and Washington Liberty IB Diploma, along with a walkable/bikeable community and decent commute to DC.  We're glad we did - TJ, while not paradise, is much better than any public middle school option we had in DC living in NE.

My kid has really taken off in the TJ music program, plays in the honors band and in a competitive MD Classic Youth Orchestra ensemble up at Strathmore.  The band teacher at TJ rocks.  My kid also does well academically, likes her teachers, has made a good group of friends.[/quote]

Falls Church City and McLean are right next to Arlington and you get better schools. [/quote]

It’s obvious people have been moving to Arlington for both the neighborhoods and the schools. Not in spite of the schools. People moving just for schools alone would likely chose schools in the Whitman pyramid in Bethesda, the renovated Langley and its feeder schools, or maybe McLean despite its neglected, crowded building. If they liked IB and preferred smaller schools, then maybe Falls Church City. [/quote]
