[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are sticking with Arlington.  We are just about to enter the APS school system with our first entering K this fall.  There are definitely some problems with the school board, but overall, I'm confident my kids will get a great education in APS.  There are too many parents actively invested in their kids education in Arlington County for that not to happen.

I enjoy the urban feel of Arlington compared to the outer suburbs.  Close to DC and diversity.  All those contribute to my satisfaction[/quote]

There have been lots of actively involved APS parents for many years, and they haven't been able to keep APS from dragging its heels to address the high school overcrowding or making boundary changes that increase rather than mitigates the de facto segregation in the county. [/quote]

The active parents aren't interested in mitigating the de facto segregation of the schools.  The are interested in making sure the segregation remains firmly entrenched in the schools.  Look at the Arlington Forest parents who threw a fit about potentially having their kids rezoned from WL to Wakefield.  OP, there are plenty of parents like the Arlington Forest ones who will ensure that the boundary changes maintain the status quo.  You may face overcrowding, but not forced integration with the poors.[/quote]
