[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Alexandria and I have a group of moms who all had babies around the same time period who have kept in touch. We all got together recently, as our oldest kids are about to finish 2nd grade. When the kids were little, we had all planned to send them to our local, relatively well-regarded ACPS elementary, but I realized that now, not a single one will still have a kid in ACPS by the start of 3rd grade. Everyone has either moved or switched to private. It’s sad and I don’t see a lot of willingness on the part of the city to change.  [/quote]

I'm a PP (18:30) and this is our experience as well. In first grade my oldest invited over a dozen classmates to a birthday party. Only one remains in ACPS, and she is going private next year. [/quote]
OP again. DC will be in 2nd next year and many have stayed, but I assume it'll be the last year. [b]I'm unsure of where to move that has some of the lifestyle benefits of Old Town.[/b] It's a mess.

They pale in comparison in terms of prettiness/charm, but parts of North Arlington (Westover, Bluemont neighborhoods in particular) and maybe Falls Church City.

Maybe Silver Spring but I'm not as familiar with MD.

And actually Reston and Leesburg, *if you work remote* all or most of the time and therefore don't need to commute to DC.[/quote]
