[quote=Anonymous]Hello! We will be moving in the next month or so. We are looking to move in bounds for one of the following schools (this is our order of preference, but not strong preference):

Eaton
Murch
Janney
Mann
Hearst

Our big things are being in a walkable neighborhood near the metro (one of the reasons Mann is lower is because of its location). We also value aftercare (Janney seemed to have a great aftercare program). We toured all of these schools and they didn’t seem vastly different from each other. We had a slight preference toward Eaton because of the smaller size, though single family home rentals appear to be limited in that area. One of the reasons we took Lafayette off the list was because of how big the school is, even though it seemed to have the best rental options.

My main question is: is there anything going on with any of these schools that we should be aware of? As in, expected renovations, leadership changes, other bad news that would make you stay away? I saw that they are looking for a new Hearst principal, but I guess new leadership could be a toss up?

Our DC will be going into 1st grade. She loves art, music, dance, and reading. Eaton seemed very musically inclined which we liked (we saw a bunch of kids carrying around their instruments). And our favorite neighborhoods were Murch and Janney because they are close to work for us.

Would love additional insight on any of these schools that could help tip the scales for us![/quote]
