FiC» Upper Arlington Advertising Section • May 1994 Schools Educating the leaders of the 21st century Upper Arlington's schools are known throughout the country. A new administration is working to maintain and enhance that reputation. By Mary Beth Ganim

or years Upper Arlington has been touted as one of the nation's exem­ plary school districts. The district's most recent laurel came in a rating of school systems across the United FStates by Expansion Management maga­ zine, which ranked Upper Arlington among the top three school districts in the nation. The UA schools consistently rank among the top districts in Ohio on the state's ninth grade proficiency exam and other standardized test scores. More than 90 percent of Upper Arlington High School graduates go on to college, and the school has graduated an average of 13 National Merit Scholarship finalists each year since 1975. The teaching staff includes a na­ tional teacher of the year, a national teacher of the year runner-up and two state teachers of the year. Upper Arlington High School has earned more state cham­ pionship sports titles than any other school in Ohio. And UAHS recently was rated by Columbus Monthly as the best suburban high school in Franklin County. It's an impressive list of accomplish­ ments, and it's reflected in the district's Students study both musical composition and computer graphics in an interdisciplinary public image. "I think most people believe course at UpperArlington High School.

Upper Arlington Advertising Section • May 1994 iVZ we are an excellent school district," says Superintendent Bill Schaefer. "We receive nearly 2,000 requests for informational packets each year from interested parents and Realtors. These requests come from all across the country. When people call they usually tell us they are moving to the Co­ lumbus area and have heard we are the best school system." Before being hired by the Upper Arling­ ton Board of Education in January, 1993, Schaefer had spent 18 years as a superin­ tendent, the last 13 in a suburban school district near Phoenix, Arizona. "I had defi­ nitely heard of Upper Arlington schools," he says. "I think most of the country's ed­ ucational community has heard of UA." So what has earned Upper Arlington schools their national reputation? "I think it's several things working in tandem," 'ington 's elementary school curriculum stresses small classes andpe Schaefer says.

Upper Arlington Advertising Section • May 1994- <>1 Business ^\fe A city in transition ^ €\ For many years Upper Arlington residents didn't think much about the community's economy. But retaining and expanding commercial development now tops the city's agenda.

n October, 1993, Upper Arlington re­ ceived a wake-up call—the kind of message that jolts a community abruptly and more than a little painfully to a sense of economic reali­ Ity. CompuServe, the huge computer infor­ mation and network service that is the city's largest employer, announced it wouldn't be building its new corporate headquarters facility in Upper Arlington after all. Instead, CompuServe would de­ velop a massive, campus-style complex in Hilliard, Upper Arlington's suburban neighbor to the west across the Scioto Riv­ er. Gone in an instant was the prospect of several thousand new jobs, the very kind of managerial, professional and technical jobs Upper Arlington wants most. Instead, the city faced the grim prospect, over sev­ eral years, of seeing its employment base— and the resulting municipal income tax revenues—flatten and perhaps decline. For a community that already was strug­ gling to find enough revenue for needed capital improvement and infrastructure re­ placement projects, as well as month-to- month city operations, CompuServe's de­ cision was a severe blow. "It was clearly capital 'B' bad news, with a small 'g' good news component," says Upper Arlington city manager Rich Among the most visible signs of extensive recent renovations at Kingsdale Shopping Center is King.

"Right up there" is a polite way of advising buyers not to faint if the asking price is in seven figures. To demonstrate the range of housing available, Morrow cites Multiple Listing Service statistics for one day in March, 1994. There were 155 Upper Arlington houses on the market, ranging in price from $75,000 to $2.95 million. During the last six months of 1993, Arlington's aver­ age home sale price was $158,560, as list­ ed by Ameristate Inc. The median price was $138,000. The average condominium sale was $90,800 during the same period, and the median was $69,900. Stone says Arlington's most expensive properties can be found along Kipling Lane, Squirrel Bend, Lane Avenue, Tre­ mont Road, Onandaga Drive and Club Road. As for condos, she says, "You can go from the inexpensive up into the $300,000s." "The price range is so healthy for our community," Henry says, because it al­ lows people who grew up in Upper Arling­ ton to stay there. "We have third and fourth generations now."
