[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone done the opposite (moved to a cheaper neighborhood with the intent of going private)? Any regrets?[/quote] We did this. Moved close to work into a neighborhood with unacceptable schools. Applied to private school and an immersion language charter. Got lucky and got into both. We chose the charter school more for the language which we really really wanted - if any private schools had offered the language, we would have chosen it but none did. DH and I both attended private schools from K-12 and beyond. Very happy with our decision. DS is fluent in the language and our house in the sketchy neighborhood has double in value since we bought it due to gentrification. We live downtown within walking distance to work. But the catch was that we were willing to pay for private school if DC had not got into a charter so we needed a little luck too. But that yr, the charter was moving and expanding so... [/quote]
