[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very telling that no one has any first hand insight into south Arlington elementaries.[/quote]

Not everyone spends their life on DCUM.

We have kids at Barrett, which is a Title 1 school in N Arlington but similar in many ways to the S Arlington schools. We have been very happy with it.

We have friends and neighbors who send their kids to Barcroft and to Campbell and have also been happy with those schools.

We also got to know families from Randolph over several seasons when our kids played on a soccer team together. The parents we spoke to (both white collar and blue collar) were happy with their school.

I find that the white-collar, college-educated families that we know who willingly send their kids to Title 1 schools are like ours -- centrist to liberal and laid back. We all want what's best for our kids and we could all afford to make a change if we needed to, but don't feel we need to. As long as our kids are happy and safe and learning and growing then it's all good.[/quote]
