[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You put it higher on your list for a reason.  Just move.

I'm sure your kid loves their school but they'll also love their other school.

Also, how white could the new school be?  There are no lily white schools at all in the district, that I know of.[/quote]

Same poster.  Also, if it's that white it's DCPS and feeds to Jackson Reed.  That is huge.  That is a path all the way to high school.  You should take the spot for that reason alone.[/quote]

OP here. This may give away both schools but Highly Sought After does not feed JR or McArthur. The schools that do are too far for us.

I am good with the middle from what I know of it - pretty good reputation for a non Deal/Hardy. I am def NOT okay with the high school. Yes, if feeder pattern changed, mental math would be different.

On behavior at Hidden Gem..it frankly doesn't seem like a problem per other parents, even in the upper grades. Academics also seem strong - lots of kids from Hidden Gem enroll at Basis and do well there, for what that's worth, but I am guessing the academics at Highly Sought After are at least as strong or stronger.

Are you taking educated guesses?  Payne to SWS is mine![/quote]

I am thinking more likely Amidon Bowen to Brent, but I also don't get the impression Brent is impossible to get into these days, but maybe I am wrong. These days Payne and SWS demographics are not the same, but they are not as light years apart as they used to be.

Either way - I don't think it's a dumb question, but I also think your kid will be fine either way. Each family is different so all of the other outside factors do matter, so commute and if your husband will be stressing/miserable for the next few years, that is relevant to making the decision.
