[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why you're asking these questions but unfortunately, I don't think you can get a useful answer because there are too many variables. The specifics of the neighborhoods, schools, and the kids vary too much to offer generalized lessons learned for your family.

For example, the degree of cohesiveness and inclusiveness varies a lot at different MCPS schools and depend too on the kids in each cohort.

If you like the ES choices you have in DC and don't already own a home in MD, then I would move ahead with your DC school. If you haven't already been doing this, I would explore MoCo real estate and then assess neighborhoods and school options once you find a house you will bid on. I don't think you need to wait to make a change between elementary and middle school.

I would take it year by year as you get settled in the DC school and consider specific houses in Maryland. My kids are in middle school now and it seems like every year there are kids coming and going--they don't have a stable cohort.

People can look at the mobility rate of schools, which is how many students are coming and going during the year. At schools with high poverty, you see a higher mobility rate, as their housing may be insecure. [/quote]
