[quote=Anonymous]We moved from our JKLMM elementary to MCPS (close in) in the middle of the year when DD was in 5th and DS was in 3rd. Reasons were that we were renting and felt that the rising housing prices of NWDC were not worth it (several friends had neighbors build additions that really altered their privacy/views etc and IMO probably property values). Simultaneously, we felt our kids needed academic enrichment opportunities and DCPS didn’t have anything for gifted kids. We were able to have them take the test to get into the relevant enrichment programs when we moved. While we moved mid-school year, we paid “out of state tuition” to DCPS so the they could finish the year with their friends—particularly important for DD at the time, we felt.
No regrets whatsoever. I miss many things about our former community but many other parents had already bought their homes during a (relatively) lower point in the market, and they weren’t seeking academic enrichment for their kids in the same way we were. [/quote]
