[quote=Anonymous]I am also leaving. I love our DC schools -- diverse, good enough academics for me, close. So why? Well, I do think there is a middle school issue, but I'm actually looking more long term than that. I eventually have to leave anyway for good in-state public universities. I don't want to move when my kids are already in HS -- it's too hard for them then. There is a MS gap in DC, so after 5th grade is the time to do it. I did notice that the gap in academics between my friends in DC and my friends in MoCo & NoVA was insignificant in K, and became noticeable by the beginning of 4th grade. I'm still sticking in DC for one more year, because I want DC's life to be stable so it's better for DC to finish out ES in DC. P.S. Figure out yourselves which DC is dear child and which DC is district of columbia.[/quote]
