[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe that there’s a serious argument going on on DCUM on whether DCPS even at its best holds a candle to APS.  The only reasonable argument that can be made is that sending your kids to a top school district isn’t necessary.  [/quote]

You are completely missing the point PP.  Your child does not attend a "school district."  Your child is an individual, from an individual family, attending an individual school, with an individual group of peers, teachers, and opportunities.  If I had to pick a random kid and drop them into a random school, yes, the odds of that kid having a better outcome are probably higher in ACPS.  But a specific type of kid, and family, and a specific school?  That kid might be better off in ACPS, might be better off in DCPS, or might do equally well in either.[/quote]

ACPS is City of Alexandria public schools, which tells us you don't know much about the schools in Arlington (APS).

OP - you clearly care about education or you wouldn't be posting here, but you're not going to get good advice because the DCPS parents will view a move on your part to Arlington as treason, and must do their utmost to keep you within the fold, lest another UMC family leave for Arlington, Fairfax, or Montgomery for middle or high school.
