[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There can be "rich" people moving into an area like south Arlington but if the "poor" people do not move out then the school test scores will not improve. This is such the case with affordable housing.

So don't assume the neighborhood will get better.

If you look at the Marshall pyramid what happened was rich people bought the dinky houses poor people were living in and built big homes on the land. This is why Marshall is doing well.

This doesn't take into account that "rich" people in south Arlington are sending their kids to school along side poor children. You will find the kind of people you want your kids to grow up to be in an area like south Arlington. Your kids will get a solid education, [b]because APS is good[/b]. They will also be raised with compassion, empathy, and patience. You'll like your neighbors, and you'll love your commute. We did this, and really couldn't be happier. It such a wonderful place to raise a family. [/quote]

True but do you want an average experience or a better than average?[/quote]

The patience part is waiting and waiting to cash out and move to n Arlington, probably.   :lol: [/quote]
