+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]

Naive Capitol Hill resident here.  Thought the tried and true Hill strategy was to bail for a place like arlington for better schools.  How have the schools in APS declined?[/quote]

Arlington schools are ok but they’re not as good as Montgomery or Fairfax counties. Arlington is just really small by comparison and doesn’t have the resources of larger counties. People move to Arlington for proximity to dc and the schools are passable. But if your kids are extremely gifted, they’ll be better served in mcps or fcps. [/quote]
