[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With kids that age you shouldn't wait to figure  out middle school when you get 5th.  Too much disruption to try to move schols after a year or two. I hate to say it but the only way you would  have a certain path that is a reasonable school is if you move in bounds for Hardy or Deal. In your case suburbs would be better. [/quote]

Hogwash. Latin and BASIS fill up with brand new 5th graders and those kids seem to end up ok.[/quote]

Those 5th graders may not have just started a new school two years ago.  And OP, percentage wise very few kids get into Latin.  BASIS is easier but not guaranteed and has a very strong math focus, which may or may not be a good fit for your kids.  If your goal is stability, you want a feeder path with a middle school and high school that you are guaranteed to get in to, and a school that has a variety of classes. Honestly any school in Arlington would be fine as would anything in the southern part of moco or JR.  What's your budget?   VA would be an easier commute to K st.   [/quote]
