[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a short commute is a big benefit. Amidon will go through a renovation at some point soon and that will suck, but I wouldn't lock in a long commute now unless you are very confident that you want immersion or something (I personally would rule out MV P St just based on the violent crime that happens nearby, but a lot of people go there). I also wouldn't focus too much on feeder patterns since a lot can change in the next 9 years.

Appletree is at a new location next year, but they've been in various locations in SW for over a decade and it would be worth asking how long their teachers have worked for Appletree.

You are not getting into Van Ness OOB, especially if you don't have an at-risk preference. If you want something close by that doesn't have a boundary, Eagle Academy in Buzzard Point could be an option and it goes through more grades than Appletree. I don't think it's any better than Amidon though.

Thank you! I'd heard something about the Amidon renovations and had forgotten about it, will definitely ask. I think the initial satellite location is clear across town, so that would definitely make a difference.[/quote]

Yes, that would be a pain, but I don't think it should affect your decision...I mean, if you don't want a long commute in a few years, why would you want it for next year AND all the years after?[/quote]

Well theoretically OPs kid has the right to 
return to Amidon anytime if the fam is in-boundary. So you could pick a closer-than-the-swing-space school for ECE and then enroll in Amidon’s brand new building for K.  [/quote]
