[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the previous poster that there is virtually no way to transfer to Jamestown. But maybe that's not so bad. We moved to Arlington from DC when my eldest was in 5th grade, and we opted to keep him in his DC school for the remainder of the year (December-June) rather than have him start a new elementary school in Arlington for just 6 months before going on to middle school. In retrospect, he probably would have had an easier transition to middle school if we had moved him to our Arlington neighborhood elementary school, even for that short time. He started middle school in Arlington knowing virtually no one. I think things would have gone more smoothly if he'd been able to meet some kids in 5th grade so there would have been at least a few friendly faces in 6th. I don't know whether you are considering neighborhoods that aren't zoned for Williamsburg, but if so moving to a new elementary school might turn out to be a good thing.[/quote]
