Arlington Mill contains one of the most diverse populations in northern Virginia. Located about eight miles outside of Washington, D.C., the neighborhood's mix of single-family detached homes, town homes, garden and high-rise apartments, and condominium high-rises constantly attract new residents. The neighborhood enjoys a low crime rate, and its quiet side streets feature sidewalks and small houses or brick garden apartments. The high-rises sit mostly along Columbia Pike, the main thoroughfare, lined with a hodge-podge of shopping centers and strip malls. The Arlington Mill Community Center serves as the neighborhood hub.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
