[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want to know?

My spouse is a Realtor and I will say that it's probably THE most coveted ES in Arlington. Very small zoning footprint, though. You'll need to spend around $1 million to get into the district.

Demographically it looks like most of the top schools in North Arlington -- predominately white, extremely low FARMS. No test scores yet since it's new.

They have an indoor slide.

I don't get it, if there are no test scores and its only a year old, how is it the most coveted school? How to answer OP's question? [/quote]

[b]1) Everyone knows the demographics are exactly the same as the high-performing schools next to the zone since it was carved out of those. So the absence of test scores isn't an issue.[/b]
2) It's new. People like new.
3) The slide. Did you hear about the slide?[/quote]

I'm framing this and hanging it on the wall. [/quote]

Why? I didn't post that, but it stands to reason. They literally carved the same kinds of kids out of the other nearby schools. Nothing shocking.[/quote]

Agree, not shocking at all -- although I guess it is somewhat shocking to see someone state it flat out. Its going to be a high performing school because of the demographics of the neighborhood, end of story. [b]It honestly has nothing to do with the principal, teachers, PTA, academic program, school budget...   We all know its true. [/b]But no one ever says it. [/quote]

Not really.  Most people understand that all of these things are made up of the same basic ingredients that go into the surrounding schools, so no worries.[/quote]
