[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in the same school district from K to 12 and therefore knew most of the kids I went to school with all the way through (more kids were added as ES's consolidated into Middle and High schools, but I always knew a core of kids).

I know families move because of job relocation, desire to be back home closer to family (or move far from family!), etc. all the time and kids adapt.  But my question is, how big a deal is it to move at, say, the middle school or high school level within MoCo, just to get to a [b]better school than what you were zoned for[/b]?

I ask because we can't afford much now and[b] it seems there are a lot of good ES choices in neighborhoods that are affordable for us.  But if we are not thrilled with the MS or HS[/b] (and, assuming by the time our children are older, we still felt they would not be a good fit) are we creating a lot of problems for our kids by moving to a better HS cluster if we can afford it in 8 years?  Or should we search for something too small in a good HS cluster now (it would mean cramming into an apartment, possibly with too few bedrooms, instead of a TH or SFH).

Thanks![/quote]

What neighborhoods are you looking at, and what are the MS/HS issues?[/quote]
