[quote=Anonymous]We live in Del Ray and know several folks who are zoned between Del Ray/Rosemont/Potomac Yard / Potomac Green who are all electing private school or moving over public ACPS.  The folks we know who live near Masonic Temple, Beverly Hills, and up close to Fairlington are mostly (but not all) opting for public (e.g., McArthur, George Mason, Barrett). We know several families in all areas who are choosing St. Marys, Blessed Sacrament, St. Stephens, and ACDS over public.

We also personally know four families who moved to McLean or Arlington to avoid ACPS.  But I think they were zoned for Jefferson-Houston and weren't getting the feedback they wanted from the superintendent re: transferring. They didn't want to risk it, so they moved before they were told whether they could transfer to another school. Some of these folks were die-hard Alexandria supporters, but found dealing with the administration too stressful and risky.

We too are zoned for Mount Vernon, and have a rising Kindergartener in 2014. We are bit surprised to see that MVCS test scores and state ranking dropped even more than in previous years. I think now MVCS is joining Jefferson Houston as being in the bottom 3% in the state.
