[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following this because we’re in a similar boat (kids with same ages) but bought in MD when our oldest was 2.  Wishing we had stayed in DC a few more years for free PK.  Just a heads up that MoCo schools are having all kinds of issues, especially at the elementary school level.  A Johns Hopkins study showed that its elementary curriculum is basically a failure and they’re doing a painstakingly slow review to determine ext steps.  All of this is making me wish we’d stated in DC.  Did not consider Va.  [/quote]

So your kids haven't actually started at MoCo schools, right?  There is a lot of a negativity on DCUM about the schools.  But from our experience the first few years, we have been happy.  And in talking to lots of neighbors who have/have had kids in the system from K-12, they have been pretty happy overall.

Obviously nothing is perfect, but I have not met anyone who says that they should have stayed in DC for the purposes of public school.[/quote]
I've said it so many times, and DH works in Fairfax. I can work anywhere. We are staying at DCPS  pk4 through 12 for kid #1. Will probably stay for #2 also. Heck with the bigger place in FF. Love DCPS, love DC and our neighborhood. [/quote]
