[quote=Anonymous]The conventional wisdom is to live in-bounds for Wilson high school. While the elementary and middle schools that feed into Wilson vary in many ways, your kids will likely be fine at any of them (I would skip Bancroft and Oyster-Adams since they are Spanish immersion and your older child would likely be behind). Hyde-Addison and Stoddert are probably the closest elementary schools to Georgetown, and Hardy is the middle school for them. Deal has higher test scores than Hardy but students seem to do well at both--Hardy is smaller which could be good or bad depending on what your kid prefers (which you probably don't know yet since she's only 7!).

Houses in your price range (especially in 3-4 bedrooms, which I'm assuming you want) in-bounds for Wilson go very fast and with multiple offers so what elementary school you end up may just be a factor of which house you're able to get. Homes in-bounds for Shepherd elementary school tend to be a bit cheaper than other parts of the Wilson boundary.  You may also want to look at Glover Park.[/quote]
