[quote=Anonymous]Kid is finishing up elementary school in DC. We rent so planning on buying next spring and are looking outside our current neighborhood (ok MS, not good HS). A long time ago we lived in Maryland so had originally thought of looking at MCPS but they are redoing boundaries and changing programs and the whole thing is a bit of a mess, so now wondering if we should also consider NoVa but know literally nothing about it. I think we’d want to be inside the beltway but otherwise flexible, and trying to figure out what schools would even work well for our kid:

- Sensitive, kind, prefers a chill environment (I realize this is more or less a non-starter in MS and HS, but we picked DCPS for elementary for the smaller classes and cozy community schools)
- Grade level or slightly above
- Major interests are theatre, art, and music, creative writing
- We’re interested in her having IB options but also open to AP
- very susceptible to positive peer pressure (friends who model positive study habits and are serious about school), but also easily intimidated so not looking for an environment where everyone is aggressively competing against each other

What schools should we look into for her? (Should I also be posting in FCPS forum? Don’t want to be annoying/duplicative.) Thanks in advance.[/quote]
