[quote=sophie123]Hello,
I'd be really grateful for some advice. My husband and I, with our three children, are moving to Washington this summer and we are trying to work out where we should live. Our commutes will be to the northwest of the city but the area we live in will be determined by schools, inevitably enough. I know that lots of different elements make a "good" school but our eldest is currently at a fairly academic (relatively speaking) state (public) schools in London which is very disciplined and focused and he happens to love it; I know school starts a year later in the states and the system is different but I would like to give him as much continuity as possible. Which are the most academic elementary schools in the suburbs (since we cannot afford Georgetown and would like as much outdoor space as possible)? We have been told by many friends that Bethesda has good schools and is a good place to live - is there anywhere else we should be considering? I would like to know of all the best options, regardless of budget, so that I can make comparisons. And one final Q: are there any public Catholic schools and if not what are the private ones like? Which should I be looking at? Thank you so much for any suggestions.  [/quote]
