[quote=Anonymous]OP, regarding your questions on residency.  DCPS, and I bet individual schools including charters, would have a list of the required and accepted documents.  To apply, you just need a DC address.  Once accepted, you will need to prove residency by a certain point.  I moved to DC over the summer and the two charters I worked with were accommodating and understanding.  At first I showed them a sub-lease agreement and then I had a real lease.  I didn't have any of the other required documents in the end and they were still very understanding and did a quick home visit.

In terms of suggestions on where to live, I'm all about convenience. I lived in DC and loved it but it was walking distance to my work.  DC involved a lot more research and luck (charter school lotteries) and it was all worth it but if your work is in Bethesda, may be just easiest to stay there if the neighborhood schools are good.  Your challenge is also that your kids are or will soon be in middle school.  There are tons more options at the elementary school level in DC, much less so middle school and beyond.[/quote]
