[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in NWDC, not North Arlington, but I see its appeal.  If it were not for the whole bridge thing to commute into DC we might be living there.  Commute is huge to us, so we live small and close in with good schools. The demand is high so we pay through the nose.  My marriage would be less happy and I would have less time with my kids if lived farther out no matter how nice a house we had so those are the choices we make.

I think that it is more likely that South Arlington starts improving their school test scores as the demographics change before the traffic diminishes in the area and commute becomes less of an issue.  I am, however, of the opinion that [b]South Arlington schools are likely as good as North Arlington schools[/b] and the difference in their performance is due to SES influence rather than school quality.  As the demographics changes, so will the school performance and up will go the real estate prices.  I do not think that will, however, be a short term phenomenon and I think that the demand for close in housing with good schools will only go higher s I do not see this dropping the prices for North Arlington houses.[/quote]

you failed to read the next part about the difference in performance being due to SES.  All Arlington schools teach the same general curriculum.  It ALWAYS comes back to the SES breakdown of the student body - ALWAYS.

If the more affluent residents in PG ever decided to send their kids to public schools en masse, test scores would change for the better.[/quote]
