[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How sure are you that the new school is "better"? I hear people use this word all the time, and they are usually only referring to test scores and data on MCPS websites. Have you talked to parents at the potential new school and received rave _specific_ reviews?

If after doing the real research into those better schools its  a slam dunk then no its not crazy to move. As long as (as PP pointed out) the smaller space/less bedrooms/bathrooms will not represent a significant quality of life decrease/stress increase that might trump the benefits of the better schools![/quote]

I echo this.  The in laws are always trying to convince us that we should buy their home from them (at a family discount) to be in their "better neighborhood" and go to "better schools."  Oh, the better schools where there are almost twice as many kids in the class and I hear people complain that their kids get no personal attention?

But if you've done your research and that really is the case, then it's worth a move.  I just think you want to be sure you are really getting a better school.[/quote]
