[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember the the gs rating of the elementary school and poverty levels directly correlate to the neighborhood and people who live next to you so watch out for that.[/quote]
Also know that Arlington rezones almost annually, so be aware of surrounding schools and don't count on your in bounds schools staying the same.[/quote]
I agree with the earlier poster to buy as far north of Route 50 as possible.  Anything close to Route 50, even if currently zoned for good schools, is at risk of being rezoned to lower performing schools.  Pretty much all the schools in the northernmost parts of Arlington are good.[/quote].

I agree with getting as north as possible from Rt 50, but because the school age population is growing in South Arlington (but not North Arlington), it's much more likely that the kids from the south will be bussed north.   I can't see the reverse happening but I do agree with your advice.[/quote]

I don’t even know that north of Washington is safe. [/quote]

Safe from what? In N Arlington, neighborhoods will just move between WL and Yorktown high schools, and Swanson, Kenmore, Dorothy Hamm and Williamsburg middle schools. Nothing terribly controversial. Cardinal, Ashlawn, Glebe, Taylor ES, etc., boundaries will likely change. No schools will close. Boundary changes happen, and this is because families in the far north of the county abandoned the public schools during and right after the pandemic. So those schools are emptying out. And schools in the south are growing.

The Arlington townhouses OP is interested in is located in one of the neighborhoods in S Arlington that is growing the most. [/quote]
