[quote=Anonymous]Hard to say but older kid would probably have done well in MoCo as long as we kept him in on track with incentives to achieve, e.g. meeting our GPA cut-off to play sports (our cut-off 3.5 in challenging classes, MoCo cut-off would have been around 2.0 in regular classes). As I said, he's v. bright but can't be bothered to work hard w/out a big push. We don't want to sell our NW house and don't want the hassle of renting it out so we could afford to rent in MoCo. We can't afford to buy a 2nd place for a "W" school and strongly prefer the stability and comforts of living in our home, surrounded by great neighbors/friends of many years. In the big picture, staying in DC to continue living in our home with one in parochial school is the right decision for us. Younger kid has so many interests that he should do fine at J-R in a social niche with the like-minded in classes, musical ensembles, clubs. Good luck. [/quote]
