[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington's schools are completely segregated. We have elementaries that are 70% poverty and ones that are 3% poverty. It's ridiculous. People will tell you they are all fine, but the reality is that middle class and upper middle class will try to avoid anything over 40%. You can find all those stats online. Boundaries in Arlington are a mess and will be for years. I used to think the schools here were good, but then we went private for COVID and I see huge gaps in my kids' educations. I can't speak to other jurisdictions, but I would not move here for the schools. Arlington is a great place to live, though. No one has big yards. But people are friendly. Lots of trails. Walkable neighborhoods. Good parks. [/quote] Exact same issue in Alexandria, and we have some higher poverty schools than 70% I do think it's easier to transfer schools in Alexandria, not as easy as say a few years ago, but still possible if you are persistent.
