[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently live in N. Arlington. If money were no object, I would first want to live in Georgetown, Logan Circle, Lyon Park (not village) or S. Arlington.

I would also send all my kids to private (one is there now and hoping to get the youngest in next year) but I wouldn't have waited if I had the $$ to do it a few years ago.

all the popular school systems (APS, FCPS, MoCo) are f***ed b/c of over-enrollment and piss poor planning across the board.[/quote]

Please don't project APS's problems onto other school systems.  We moved from Arlington to McLean a few years ago and have been very happy with FCPS, the lower rate of enrollment growth, and not having to worry about the high school capacity issues APS is facing.  We will be happy if our kids end up at any of Langley, McLean or Marshall, and there should be space for them.  [/quote]

Fortunately you don't have elementary kids in 30-student kindergarten classes. McLean isn't some utopia either.[/quote]

You're right on both fronts, but overall the school situation is much better than in APS, due to the combination of lower growth and expanding schools when they were renovated.[/quote]

The average kindergarten class at our McLean elementary last year was under 22 kids.  [/quote]

Others haven't been so lucky. Class size caps are higher for FCPS than for APS, so there's always potential in FCPS for class sizes significantly larger than anything you'd ever see in APS.[/quote]
