My 5th grader daughter and I relocated to DC area last summer. My job is in Suitland MD, and I decided to settle in Alexandria part of Fairfax Co.
Clermont ES was ranked high and we rented a town house within a walking distance. However, the school turned out to be a nightmare.
I would love to hear some suggestions for a good neighborhood with an academically strong middle school, an an easy commute to Suitland. It can be either VA , MD or DC. Also, if any one knows of a not too expensive private school with a good tennis program. Being a single mother, safety is also a concern for me. Any suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated.
