[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, barcroft is going to get even worse. The new school will be at TJ and the [b]kids living in alcova heights million dollar homes [/b]won't have to go to barcroft in 2019.

Got news for you school board, if you don't zone some of the kids in barcroft apartments to the new school at TJ! Barcroft elementary will be about 80-90 percent FARMs. Barcroft only has a small area of single family homes, and most are modest in comparison to alcova heights. If you don't do the boundary right you just put another school even further into the poverty hole, albeit less crowded until more affordable housing goes up.

So, you think those of us who live in barcroft could maybe see our tax assessments go down since our property values are about to tank even further? That may be the only positive that comes out of this.

How did Alcova Heights end up sounding like N Arlington? I mean, its nice, but there aren't that many million dollar homes. There are plenty of us living in normal homes too here. But we all wants kids to get a good education. Is there some plan to rezone Alcova?[/quote]

Oh please give it a rest with the "southern" inferiority complex!  Have you walked through every neighborhood in Arlington?
Alcova Heights is just very nice, (a lot nicer looking in fact than several N. Arlington neighborhoods - nothing against the residents) - just talking about curb appeal, the streets and lots of gorgeous houses.   There are a lot of million dollar homes there - or if you will 900K to 1.2 mil.
But all the houses regardless of price are well kept, with inviting yards, beautiful flowers and trees...
For the record: I'm not an Alcova Heights resident (And not in real estate) - I just walk and drive through the neighborhood regularly.
