[quote=Anonymous]DC to Arlington transplant here. Arlington schools are good enough for most kids. We are satisfied and glad we moved. Bottom line is that in the DC there aren't really the top-notch public schools you would get on north shore of Chicago or the NYC burbs. Of course, schools here are more diverse and less cut-throat so there are trade offs. Closest thing in DMV would be Falls Church City. Lyon Park was mentioned above but not Ashton Heights, which is pretty much the same neighborhood. One nice thing is that it is very close to the Hill on weekends if you keep up with your DC friends. I also think more wealthy families in Arlington do public vs in Chevy Chase/Bethesda. In part this is because there are fewer good private schools in NoVa. Takoma Park is great too and there are certainly things to like about the other MD suburbs. For me, the MoCo school system was just too big and our commutes were going to be much longer so we did not really consider it.[/quote]
