[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably start with high school and work backward. Many people think Washington-Libery and Yorktown are equally good for HS. Some think Yorktown is better, which is code for wealthier and/or less diverse.  
Middle school- people like Dorthy Hamm, then Williamsburg. 
Elementary- people like ATS, if you get a spot in the lottery. Distant second is Jamestown and Taylor. I don't know why people don't mention Glebe with Jamestown and Taylor. They all seem interchangeable to me.

Basically all of the elementary schools that feed into Yorktown HS, Williamsburg and Hamm MS are interchangeable.

You get more diversity in income and testing outcomes as you move further south.  [/quote]

Including innovation? [/quote]

Right now Innovation is very diverse and well balanced. It’s a great school community! My kids are doing well there.

That said, in a few years the huge Marbella redevelopment (all Committed Affordable) will come online and send 100+ new higher needs students to the school. There’s a decent chance APS will just decide to tank it and move Woodbury Park there as well as signaled in the pre-CIP report. If I were moving to Arlington with toddlers I would be wary. [/quote]

Not all poor kids are high needs. [/quote]
