[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington is a county based system. If Yorktown was its own school district and set it's own zoning laws, it would be a "better" school district in terms of getting kids into top colleges. [/quote] Do you mean like Falls Church City, which is a Class-2 city within Arlington County ??[/quote] What? FCC is not in Arlington County. [/quote] FCC is not in Fairfax County and it is not a class 1 city like Norfolk or Alexandria City. FCC is a class-2 city within Arlington County, just like Fairfax City is a class 2 city within Fairfax County. FCC and Arlington even have a joint fire station on 29. Fairfax County learned this when they initially sued FCC over public water (by filing the suit in the wrong court). In Virginia, a class 2 city can have its own school system, and always has its own taxes/budget, but it uses the circuit courts and general district courts of the associated county. [/quote]
