[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. The question was for a friend whose kid is grade 3 level 4 AAP and who is currently house hunting. They currently live in a zone where their regular ES is also their AAP ES center. They were considering a house where ES is Fox Mill but they would want to send their kid to an AAP center school which is Oak Hill for that area. She discussed pros and cons with me and I mentioned to her that school bus may not be an option for going to Oak Hill (based on the observation that kids at my DS' ES (AAP center) who moved in from other areas). Then I doubted myself and posted the question. 
Thanks for the replies. I will let her know about school bus still being an option but will also recommend her to check with the school just to be sure. [/quote]

No offense, but why do that? Just buy at the ES she wants to attend. It will be easier to maintain friends with kids from school if they are at their base school. We are a Fox Mill family, it is far harder for the kids who are friends with non-base school JI kids because they are further away and it takes more to get together and hang out.

One of the cons I hear from parents whose kids move to Oak Hill from Fox Mill is that the social scene is harder for the kids because they are not in the same neighborhood. Some parents are more willing to make the effort to get their kid involved with their Oak Hill friends but many are not excited about the extra time it takes. If they join the activities that are at Oak Hill, they have less time to hang out with friends in the neighborhood. We know people who have been fine with that and others who returned their kids to Fox Mill because they found it to isolating. [/quote]
