[quote=Anonymous]Would love advice from other parents who have contemplated the school performance vs. convenience decision before.

My spouse and I are both hybrid employees, but for now, go into our offices (West End/Glover Park respectively) 1-2 times per week. We live near Meridian Hill/Malcom X Park and while we have a car, have never used it to commute to work.

We'd love to get into our IB school for PK3, but it's not at all a guarantee. We've gone to the open houses for many of the charters and found 3 that we really liked, but all are very popular and would involve a car commute (which we could swing but would be a real lifestyle adjustment). IF we're willing to make the commute to these charters (which we are) should we still rank them, or would we better served staying nearby (there are a few charters that are walkable enough to us but not as in-demand)?

I guess the question is: are the charters we really liked (all around 3 miles away and a 15 min drive) worth a lifestyle adjustment in the long term (if we took a PK3 spot we'd want to see it through) or would we be better served finding interim PK3/PK4 (that may not be as high performing) until we can get into our IB school?
