[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree with 11:31. In fact, I could have typed pretty much the same story. Given what you have written about your commute/job/financial situation, I would stay put. Make efforts to get to know the school and the families that are there already. Also - are there things you can do to get to know neighboring families with kids better? I know for us, our kid was in daycare/preschool in DC, which made it hard to know families headed to our school because the kids were from all over the metro area. We switched to a neighborhood preschool the year before K and developed a great social circle of families all going to our ACPS school. But maybe you have a citizens' association or neighborhood events. Now that we are headed for better weather it's a lot easier to meet people out and about at various activities. Overall, I'd say try it for K and see how it goes. Chances are you will be fine. And if not, you can make a more informed decision about moving. Kids handle moves to new schools - particularly in the early grades - a lot better than adults do for the most part.  (And there should be good stuff coming to the West End over the next few years, so that property value may grow more than you might think.)[/quote]

The West End "development"...lol. We've been waiting on that since we bought here! Can't wait to see if something actually happens this summer! Fingers crossed. :)[/quote]

Me too. Dumb we are. They got our tax money all these years. Hurry up Alexandria City Council and spend on the West End! [/quote]
