+1.  great schools, reasonable taxes, green areas, walkability[/quote]

Show me a good school in Arlington that has walkability / close to metro. Yes, good schools means test scores.[/quote]

I do not get this.  If you live in north Arlington schools are not a factor.  I think the train has left the station on APS and private is really the question.  How long is your commute to the PRIVATE school you are sending you kids to?

No one should be moving to Arlington for the school system.  It is about the location and not being in dc.  APS is highly average, at best.[/quote]

Maybe overall.  Washington-Liberty  is essentially a private school within a public school.  I don't know the percent, but I'd guess the 20/80 rule is more like 30/70.  A smaller percentage of students are in AP, IB, and Intensified classes and rarely interact with the general student body except for classes like PE and other odd electives.  If you are an educated parent who cares about your child's education, you will be fine at W&L.  If your kid vapes and ditches class to head to Ballston Mall, they will not be interacting with the top students.  The economic diversity is often the difference and there are many wealthy POC who attend.[/quote]
