[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friends all love it. Great community feel. Spanish immersion is great. Lots of community events aimed at creating a real sense of community. For ACPS, you need to look at the test scores for your demographics. For my family, they were quite high at all schools. [b]ACPS seems to fail low income students across all races. [/b]To me that is concerning. [/quote]

You're right of course they do fail low income kids but they really fail everyone.

Looking at the scores from various schools is very illuminating.

But I also recommend that you consider moving to a different city/school district.  ACPS is really a disaster and it's not on the track to get better.  [/quote]
This is OP. DH and I both work in DC and commute by metro, with a budget around $700,000. Factoring in full-time work, commutes, and the fact that at least one of us has to be home by 6 with no WFH flexibility, I’m not quite sure what our other options are. We can’t really do more than 45 minutes each way by Metro, and my impression of the schools in Silver Spring close to the metro isn’t great.

We are long-time Alexandria residents who are afraid of being priced out. [/quote]
