[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. I guess I'm also wondering...has anyone else been in this situation, left a beloved Title I for a school that's among the highest performing in the city?

Were you glad you switched? Did you stay or switch back? [/quote]

I know people who have left my IB and nearby ones for supposedly greener pastures
One hated the commute, came back to the IB, and moved out of DC for middle school.
One felt that the Title I school was better at differentiating her (non-white, far above grade level) child and they were tired of the racial stereotypes and microaggressions they encountered WOTP. They came back and eventually left DC.
Several others have stayed with the further away school and eventually continued in that feeder pattern or went to BASIS (which is a better commute from my neighborhood).

A lot depends on how you tolerate the commute, your kid's temperment, and the other kids/teachers/admins in the particular school in question, which are hard to judge. But I think it's worth trying the new school if your husband will shoulder a bunch of the burden associated with the longer commute. [/quote]
