[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember the the gs rating of the elementary school and poverty levels directly correlate to the neighborhood and people who live next to you so watch out for that.[/quote]
Also know that Arlington rezones almost annually, so be aware of surrounding schools and don't count on your in bounds schools staying the same.[/quote]
I agree with the earlier poster to buy as far north of Route 50 as possible.  Anything close to Route 50, even if currently zoned for good schools, is at risk of being rezoned to lower performing schools.  Pretty much all the schools in the northernmost parts of Arlington are good.[/quote]

lol.

No.  Ballston is the only significant area of growth in n Arlington and crushing W&L and the elites terrified of diversity at kenmore and insist on Swanson. That cannnot last.
More n Arlington kids will get bussed to Williamsburg and Yorktown that are under capacity.

Kenmore is huge and can handle the south Arlington boom for now; but if anything south of 50 is more likely to be in north Arlington schools than vice versa.

It’s simple math; which eventually will overcome hypocritical racism of n Arlington.[/quote]

The Arlington townhomes are in a neighborhood where many parents apply to option programs like Campbell ES, etc.

All the Arlington boundaries will likely be redone next year. Kenmore neighborhoods look to move to Swanson MS. It’s possible more WL HS neighborhoods will move to Yorktown HS. And more Wakefield HS neighborhoods to WL. But it’s anyone’s guess what boundary changes will actually happen. To achieve better looking (non-gerrymandered) boundaries and streamlined pyramids, some neighborhoods might actually move in the other direction—Yorktown to WL and WL to Wakefield.

The townhomes in Fairfax City look nice, and the school district (which has its own city school board but is run by Fairfax County) is strong.

The townhomes in Falls Church are zoned to the Falls Church HS pyramid. The high school is getting completely rebuilt, and will be the envy of all the neighboring school pyramids when complete. [/quote]
