For the second year running, Arlington Public Schools were ranked first in Virginia and the DC metro area by Niche, a website devoted to analyzing schools and neighborhoods all over the country. The ranking was based on factors like academics, culture, diversity, sports, teachers, clubs, and safety.

All Arlington high schools were ranked within the top 10 high schools in Virginia, and all Arlington middle schools were ranked within the top 30 schools in Virginia. Additionally, the top 10 elementary schools in Virginia were all Arlington Public schools. These consecutive high rankings indicate that Arlington has phenomenal schools with great teachers, sufficient resources, and a diverse student body that continually achieves exceptional grades.

Arlington’s top schools continue to entice families in the DMV region along with the area’s high safety rating and pedestrian friendly design. Arlington is considered a very family-friendly place to live due to its parks, bike trails, museums, historic sites, and proximity to the capital. Though there are lots of condos and apartment buildings in Arlington, the farther you’re willing to live from the Metro, the more affordable single-family houses you’ll find.
