[quote=Anonymous]OP, I live nearby with two teens. On the school front, I think you'll be fine - especially if there's a world in which you might be able to do private as a backup. But the person who commutes to H-A and is really happy also makes good points - in your shoes, I might lottery for H-A each year to preserve the flexibility to move if you decide it makes sense. And consider BASIS when the time comes.

The other thing I'd think really carefully about is 1) what it will mean for your kids to get older and have VERY FEW peers/friends in the neighborhood and 2) tradeoffs you are making in terms of availability of extracurricular sports and activities. I have ended up spending a bunch of time hauling to Silver Spring and upper NW and Capitol Hill for kid stuff and my kids still are way, way behind their peers in terms of engaging in regular sports/activities.

My kid is taking geometry as a 9th grader at a DC selective high school this year and is bored and bummed that they didn't have the same opportunity as the Deal/Hardy kids to advance faster/aim higher. [/quote]
