[quote=Anonymous]Our commute is 35-40 from NoVA to NWDC for HS. It's not awesome. There is a bus in the morning that's less than 10 minutes from our house, but DC still has the commute time. The afternoon bus doesn't work most days due to extracurricular activities. Carpools and buses are helpful but they only save the wear and tear on the parents, not the students. The day-to-day isn't so bad, but the random evening parent meetings (where DC ends up having to stay at school until the meeting has ended because we live too far away to take them home), student events with undefined end times, etc. are more challenging than expected. Social opportunities with friends are also far away. The school is 100% worth it, and while we did fully considered the everyday travel, we didn't fully understand how challenging some parts of the distance would be. [/quote]
