[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last time there was rezoning the final phase took over six years to go into effect. That being said in 6 years your child will just be ending elementary. There are no guarantees in K that you can be sure of HS placement. [/quote]

That’s ridiculous. Families should have certainty when becoming a part of a system that the rules aren’t going to change.

Eaton and Hardy are great, but they’re really far and I would have made different choices if I was planning to send my kids there. [/quote]

No, families should understand that in the US, governments shift the boundaries of public neighborhood schools on a regular basis. Buying a house on a certain street is never a guarantee of a certain school eight or ten years down the line. In many other jurisdictions, kids change schools the next year - no grandfathering.

Yup. I have friends in Arlington who had kids at two different elementary schools because of redistricting. And ESs fed multiple MSs, meaning the younger one who switched ESs then had to go to an MS with kids mostly from the old ES because very few kids from the new ES fed there.

DCPS is extremely generous with its transitions, allowance for siblings to stay together, etc. [/quote]
