[quote=Anonymous]So we just moved this summer from out of state. Previously lived in Shaw when they were babies so not "new" to DC. We ended up buying within Murch. We wanted a house that was walkable to all three schools (Lafayette was too far from Deal/Jackson Reed). We also found the lot sizes to be too small zoned for Janney - again what was available - I am SURE there are big lots in bound for Janney. Lafayette seemed too big for us (we were coming from a small private) which also had the bigger lot sizes. However, now being at Murch it feels way too regimented. I wish we had bought in Janney or Lafayette. Our kids (two different grades) are ONLY allowed to eat with their respective homerooms at lunch. Which means their universe of making friends is smaller than the private we were coming from. yes, there is recess but when you are new and kids have known each other for years it's harder to make friends when the only interaction is at recess.[/quote]
