[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We entered lottery, but I'm preparing myself for negatives again this year.

DH feels it is risky (what if kid doesn't like the school? what if we change our minds about the neighborhood? etc.), but I'm on-board because I'm no longer enamored with our very busy, very loud, not super safe neighborhood.

We're renters, so it isn't a major life investment but it would be somewhat disruptive. We're not wealthy and moving isn't exactly easy (or free), but the payoff for kids may just be there. (IMO they'd like an area a bit less noisy and with less street commotion as much as I would.)

Has anyone moved to get a better school within DC? Would love to hear how it has worked out.[/quote]

I mean ... I currently live in a busy, loud, now super safe neighborhood (maybe the same one?) and I know SO MANY families who moved to upper NW for the schools. It's very, very common. They are almost universally happy with the decision.

(We decided to play the lottery and eventually lucked out, and we do love our house and feel very connected to the neighborhood, so all is well).[/quote]
