[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are not "better" in No Arlington, there is just a completely different demographic.  One could argue that there are better opportunities in South Arlington for children to be exposed to other cultures. South Arlington has some wonderful neighborhoods and some really great people.  And, housing prices are less.  We live in the neighborhood near Claremont Immersion and I actually know some No Arlington families that have begged to get their kids into Claremont.  Also, you can buy a turnkey house for under 800k in S Arlington.  Nothing like that in No Arlington. [/quote]

Lets cut the bull shit and talk reality.

The houses are cheaper because the people are poorer and the school ratings reflect that. All south arlington schools have terrible scores check out greatschools.net.[/quote]

Let's cut the bullshit and talk reality.  Anyone who points to school ratings as the first and last word of determining how good a school is knows nothing about education.[/quote]

if you remove all the low scoring students (over half) the school would be great , you could say that about anything. Arlington us very liberal and welcomes illegal immigrants who sick down public resources . You can bet they don't live in north arlington and the farm ratio mimics their population in south arlington which is high.[/quote]

Have you ever looked at the demographic breakdown of performance in N. and S. Arlington schools?  It used to be on the APS website; I haven't looked for it in a while, I'm sure it is still there.  I'll give you the bottom line: there is no meaningful difference in performance between non-FARMS kids countywide.  I have no idea what you are rambling about with respect to immigrants, illegal or otherwise, but the S. Arlington Schools provide the same education as the N. Arlington schools.  Period.  [/quote]
