[quote=eloisetheo]Hello,

My family will be moving to the DC area over the summer. We have found a couple of homes we like and that meet our needs (price, # of bedrooms, etc.) in Silver Spring and really think we will enjoy living there (it seems like a nice blend of urban and suburban, if that makes sense).It's also very convenient to DH's work and to a place where I'm planning on volunteering at a few hours a week (I'm a SAHM).We'd like to send our kids to public school (our older D will be in third grade next fall, my older son will be in kindergarten, my middle son just turned 3 and my younger D will be 1 in May) if possible and would also like to keep them in the same school system through high school as my older D, in particular, has already faced a lot of upheaval in her young life (her twin brother died a month before their 4th birthday).So ideally we'd like to find a good public elementary that feeds into good middle and high schools. It's hard to gage, IMO, which schools are the "best" solely by test scores. We also want a supportive environment with caring teachers and peers and parents who will be accepting of our family (we're an interracial couple and all our children except our my older D are adopted and of different ethnicities so we don't look like a "typical" family -- whatever that is lol!) .Is there a certain area of SS or certain schools that you think would fit our needs better than others? I'm also looking for preschool recommendations if anyone has any. Thanks so much![/quote]
