[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP in similar situation. Are there any small, hidden gem by-rights middle schools in the close in suburbs? Ignoring high schools for the sake of discussion [/quote]

As someone who has been in the suburbs all along for work reasons, I normally don't jump into DC threads, but since you asked the question and I do have a similar kid. There aren't any "small" middle schools in the suburbs, but here are a few options.

HB Woodlawn in Arlington would be great for a kid with this profile, but you could make the move and not lottery in.

In Montgomery County, Takoma Park MS has a nice arts program and then you the Downcounty Consortium lets you lottery into various high schools. If you are IB for Takoma Park MS, your by-rights school is Blair. It's an enormous school but has a nice arts program in part because the size lets them offer a lot of classes. But the consortium model means you would pretty easily get into Einstein if your home school is Blair. Einstein is one of the smallest high schools in MoCo and houses the Visual Arts magnet and the Visual and Performing Arts concentration in the DCC.

I'm not arguing that you should move to the suburbs, but those are the options I considered with a kid who is pretty similar. [/quote]

the high schools are all massive though. [/quote]
