[quote=Anonymous]OP, here is what we did. Before having kids, moved on purpose to a bad school zone with a good commute. This was to obtain an affordable home and reasonable commute. A year after, had a baby. Our zoned school was closed and was folded in with another equally bad. DD struck out in the PK3 lottery, as did many of our friends, so we decided to make a go of it together at the zoned school. It turned out to have some pretty great teachers and we were happy there for several years. Lotteried into a high performing charter for second grade, when the academics start to matter more, and DD was right on track, not behind at all. The high performing school is not really more impressive when you consider that they have an easier group of kids. I have no regrets and would do it again exactly the same. Wilson is not all that. We are doing application high schools.[/quote]
