[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have young kids who are not yet in Elementary, school, it really doesn't matter. You will buy a house, and if it's currently zoned for Nottingham, it might be changed to Discovery or Tuckahoe by the time your kids get to school.

The reason it's a big deal for those of us who have kids there now is that we want to be able to walk to school and we don't want our kids and their friends split up. That's what I care about. The schools are basically the same. The education won't be any different, but my child will be switched for 5th grade, which is the last of the elem. years, and might be separated from his friends. It stinks, but it won't affect education.

[b]APS as a whole is another matter. I have no clue why a school system with space issues has option schools or HB Woodlawn. It's time for them all to go, and everyone can go to their neighborhood schoo[/b]l. [/quote]

Maybe because nearly every other school district in our area has option schools, in fact far more of them than APS does: DC, MoCo, Fairfax, City of Alexandria, Prince George's. So don't act as if option schools are to blame for your school being overcrowded. [/quote]
