[quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising 4th grader. Single child. We are in our mid- forties, early fifties. Our rental budget for apartment is &lt;$2000. DC is strong in academics and likes challenges. 65% of his small 3rd grade class qualified for advanced services and I think that the strong peers was a big factor in lifting his performance this year. I think he can benefit if he goes to a center school. I want to go with the elementary schools that are zoned to Carson or Rocky Run (Longfellow zoned schools may not be within our budget?). After researching. there are only 3 schools in my list - Oakhill (but apt rent is $2100+), McNair (several affordable apartments zoned to it and Carson) and Greenbriar West (only 1 pest infested affordable apartment community zoned to both GW and RR). McNair seems to be the obvious choice but I am dragging my feet because of the overcrowding and all the negative comments about it on this forum. Meanwhile, DH met with his best friend in Fairfax yesterday and loves the place. He said it was quieter and nicer than Herndon and everything is nearby. There are couple of good apartments zoned to GW but the MS is Lanier which is a new AAP center. I don’t know what to do. It’s so difficult sitting in another state and trying to decide. Appreciate any help. Should we go with McNair or GW (Lanier) or are there other options that I am not seeing?[/quote]
