[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Arlington and we are looking to move to Fairfax. I agree that the high schools are nothing special -- didn't Yorktown only have 1 national merit semifinalist last year? Weak. The elementary schools still seem fine, but who knows how long that will last.[/quote] National Merit is a poor metric. Only indicative of the number of tiger moms driving their high school juniors to do SAT test prep during the summer before. Looks at the test scores when it matters...when they are applying to college.[/quote] Most of the Arlington national merit semifinalists go to TJ just like in Fairfax.[/quote]
