[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are APS's Title 1 schools - . Abingdon, Barcroft, Barrett, Campbell, Carlin Springs, Drew, Hoffman-Boston, Patrick Henry and Randolph.  That is basically every ES with a South Arlington address.  The cut is 40% or higher on FRL.  These are urban schools, with all of their attendant issues.  [/quote]

Plus the county is actively working against gentrification. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but it's not happening soon. The county allowed the r-b corridor to gentrify with the understanding that Arlington's poor could all be housed along Columbia pike. Walter Tejada was promised Buckingham ( and was displeased at what happened there) and Columbia Pike. There are enough dyed in the wool libs in that area ( who don't have kids in the schools) to make it an easy target. 
Doesn't mean the schools are bad, but they are[b] overloaded with more than their fair share of poverty.[/b][/quote]

I don't know about scary... No part of Arlington is really know for being particularly rough these days. It is disappointing.[/quote]
