[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we're IB at bmpv and trying to decide. MV8 would be a rough commute.[/quote]

I can't speak to your family's circumstances but I wouldn't choose a school with a rough commute, regardless of the quality of the school. The stress it can add to your life and your family outweighs any advantages the school would provide.[/quote]

But life is going to be really rough when you realize you can't keep your kid at that other school past a certain grade, or face middle school with no options. You should not prioritize commute over everything. Then also, people relocate within DC. They also carpool and have bussing.

Commute is not the end all be all decider...[/quote]

Ditto.  If your neighborhood middle school is not going to be a viable option in 5-6 years, which realistically most in the city will not, be prepared to move or spend the money to go private. Chances of getting into an OOB middle like Deal or 1 or 2 decent charter middle schools will be nearly impossible.

We currently are doing a 15 minute commute for our DS to another charter school that we like.  It’s not a big deal at all.  it’s going to be a big deal when we don’t have a viable middle or high school option in the city.  So long term middle and high school viability was just as important as Spanish immersion to us.[/quote]
