[quote=Anonymous]We looked at homes in North and South Arlington, plus a few in falls church. I prioritized good schools, distance from her current preschool, ease of commute, how busy the surrounding streets were, whether we could walk to parks and shopping, etc. We ruled out a couple of South Arlington schools because I didn't want my daughter to be one of a very few caucasian or upper middle class kids; I wanted her to feel like she could fit in with her peers. But i didn't care much about small differences in FARMS or ESL or % diversity, and we were fine with most of the schools in Arlington. Maybe rule out a few areas due to location or whatever, and then find a house you like that's in one of the ones you didn't rule out? (we ruled out 22206 because it was farther south than I wanted to be, for example - that narrowed things down some. And parts of North Arlington were too far North or West for us as well.) [/quote]
