[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are currently at a Hardy feeder in DCPS and we LOVE our ES.  DS is in 3rd grade so we have time.  DH works in Falls Church, I WAH so no commute for me.  I am wondering why we don't just move to McLean but know nothing about the schools beyond what I can see online/gather from DCUM.  If I did my research correctly, we would probably look at Churchill Road/Cooper/Langley or Spring Hill/Cooper/Langley.  My thoughts/issues are:

FFX ES goes through 6th grade, so leaving our JKLM after 4th or even 5th would mean starting in ES and moving to MS with a cohort from their ES (plus I have a DS in 1s grade so he would have a few years in the FFX ES).  Here in DC we aren't sure yet about Hardy, can't afford a private but could afford parochial  - risk there is if we don't get in, where do we go?

Easier commute for DH; no impact on my job

Knowing what we can get for our house, and looking on Redfin/Zillow, housing costs would be about the same - slighly higher property taxes, but no risk of needing to pay for private

SO why not just do it??  We love our current house, school, neighborhood.  Love being "in the city" although an argument could be made we are not exactly downtown so McLean isn't all that different... or is it??

Talk me into/out of it. [/quote]

Why not do Chesterbrook and McLean? Closer in and better investment. [/quote]
