[quote=Anonymous]We bought in Eckington 5 years ago with the same theory.  Turns out the school has improved so we're able to stay put through K at least.  I'm glad we bought a house just barely big enough for two young kids so that we don't feel we have to move for space.  I think we could flip it into something in a better school district, but we would likely buy an even smaller place.

I do think your understanding of the school situation is a little off.  Let me try to explain how I see it.  You must play the lottery for PK3 and PK4, because there is no automatic admission for in-boundary kids.  However, at a lot of neighborhood schools, in-boundary kids almost always get in for PK3 and PK4.  So, do not assume that you'll have to commute.  Of course, it may be harder to get in by the time your baby is of age, but still I think with the in-boundary preference you would stand a good chance.

Tell us what areas you're considering and we can help you more.  Perhaps the southern part of Edgewood or a condo in Eckington would meet your needs.[/quote]
