[quote=Anonymous]I'm stymied, confused, and desperate for advice.  Can someone please advise me about buying in Spring Hill Elementary district or Franklin Sherman district?

We've narrowed our home search to two houses, one in each district.  DC tests as having a 140 IQ, and has been in private school with lots of individualized attention up to this point (1st grade).  In order to afford a house in these districts, we're giving up private school.   DC shows a strong interest in science, and has been taking French for 2 years.  We prefer to live in FS district because that house is a much a shorter commute to our DC offices.

That's the background.  Which house/school should we choose?

Other questions:

1.  The house near Franklin Sherman says that its school are:  Sherman, Cooper, Langley.  I understand that the majority of students attending FS go to Longfellow/Mclean.  Is it possible that DC's path would be altered to go to those schools (which look to be a longer drive in the opposite direction of my commute).

2.  What's up with all this GT center stuff? It seems to be in flux and I can't tell what's current informatioin.  Should a gifted child who lives near FS be at Churchill.  Is it even an option to apply to transfer there after being tested?

Thanks so much in advance!
