[quote=Anonymous]We are house hunting. Though we don't make a ton by DC standards (100k and I'm a SAHM) we have the cash to buy in any school district we choose. If you were me, would you: A. Buy in the "best" school district (Chevy Chase) where most of our children's peers will be much wealthier than us or B. Buy in a school district where we currently live (Silver Spring) where there is a high percentage of families much poorer than ours (half of kids are eligible for free lunch in middle school)? They are only in elementary school now and I don't think it makes much of a difference now. However it's middle and high school I'm most concerned with. Will they be challenged? Will they feel like they can't fit into because they don't vacation in Paris? Basically which extreme majority could have more of a negative affect on my child? [/quote]
