[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like Oneness Family. Do you like it? I've always wondered about it. OP, I relate to so much of what you say. We are in the same boat, financially and philosophically. We are in DC at a nontraditional charter ES and pretty happy, but not sure what we'll do for MS or HS. We could scrape to afford a small house in one of the "top" school clusters, but as simple livers, I'm concerned that we wouldn't fit in with our neighbors. Hope you'll keep the thread posted on what you decide.[/quote]

Ha ha, not Oneness but the other school that is almost always mentioned when it is mentioned . . .

I think we are going to try for Takoma Park 1/2 mile to the metro (and then Silver Springs 1/2 mile, which is still zoned for Blaire).  We spent an afternoon in Silver Springs downtown, son playing in the fountain, and I did like it more than I thought I would.  The commute will be bad (40 minutes to school and about an hour to work in the mornings), and the wait for a house will be long, but I think it will be a good fit for us.

[b]I am sorry to leave NW DC.  If the schools were better, we could just move to a row house east of 16th street, but I can't count on charters or on our ability to sustain private school tuition for 2[/b].

I'm with you sister! Loved DC for a long time (10+ years), but I can count on charters and 2 private school tuitions may not be sustainable for us longterm. Looking to jump ship soon![/quote]
