[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn’t I want to live in Arlington? I work for the federal government in DC and my commute from Arlington is a breeze. Yes I don’t go in as often but if I ever need to go in I can just hop on the metro or get there in 15 minutes in an Uber. We have four parks walking distance to our house. We have an amazing trail. If we want to go to DC to enjoy all it has to offer it is 15 minutes away. My friends who live further never bother to go to DC unless it’s for some special occasion. The people here are educated and man you feel the difference. So are the kids. APS is a good school system and probably one of the best in the country. Yes, it has gone downhill but the difference is that parents expect the best and that’s why you hear a lot of complaints. These are some of the most educated parents in the nation and have high standards on what they consider a good education to be. So yes arlingtonians will complain and complain but it’s because we only want the best. [/quote]

One of the best school systems in the country?!?!? Hahaha[/quote]

Yes of course it’s one of the best school systems in the country. The problem is of course that the bar is really low. Arlington parents know this and that’s why there are so many complaints. [/quote]

It’s just not. You may not be that aware of other school districts and other states. APS is one of the best districts in a state that doesn’t value K12 ed as it should.

Even a middling district in a better state is better. [/quote]
