[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at RM and I agree that a 2 hour commute every day is not really feasible.  Is that by bus?  We ended up doing a carpool for our neighborhood to save the kids the morning bus ride.  The afternoon was not as bad because we were the first stop so it was only 30 minutes.[/quote]

OP here: All the feedback in the thread is really helpful, thanks.

To PP, yes, we’re the first stop on the route according to this year’s bus schedule, with a pick-up of 6:10 am. I have an elementary and middle schooler to get out the door and wouldn’t be available to drive that far in the morning. We could also drop at Blair for a different RM route, I suppose, which has a slightly later pick-up time (6:40) and a more direct schedule.

It’s good to hear that CAP is a strong program—it’s the only open house we missed and I’m feeling the lack of exposure. But DC likes all the program subjects (mostly because DC likes all subjects 😂).

It seems like the broad consensus is that no school is awesome enough to make up for the commute/early hours/distance from home community trifecta. Oof, that hurts my heart but is the reality check I needed. Thanks![/quote]
