[quote=Anonymous]We are in-bounds for Woodlin, but at Sligo Creek for French, so know lots of families at both.  If you are switching housing, I would say choose a house/neighborhood that suits your family well... the school experience will likely be largely the same.  There are strong parent and PTA communities at both schools.  As for administration, there is a new principal at Sligo Creek (who is much better than the last one and so far generally good)...  and meantime I've heard about a lot of issues with the Woodlin principal, though you are probably already familiar with that.  Woodlin seems to have many more after school clubs, etc, while SCES struggles to pull that off, but there are still options, especially if you have parents willing to help organize.  I'm sure the new Woodlin building will be wonderful, and generally better than the aging SCES/SSIMS building (and construction for SSIMS is now not including any facility improvements for SCES to my knowledge).  But SCES/SSIMS has some benefits of being a former high school, including a large courtyard where "outdoor classroom" activities are held, a full-size track where Girls on the Run and Let me Run meet for practice, wide hallways, etc so though the building is older there are still some nice features.
