[quote=Anonymous]That is such a tough commute for everyone, OP. I think you're right to look for alternatives. But I also think you did a great job finding good schools for your kids with the information you had at the time.

- I think it's going to be harder to find a "good" HS alternative than it is to find a "good" elementary school alternative

- That said, you want to do your best to get your younger child into a "good" middle school pathway too

- I think ideally you'd want to find a high school that is reasonable for your older child to commute to on their own and an elementary school that is reasonable for you to commute with your younger child to.

- I think the next best option is to find two schools in close enough proximity that you can reasonably commute with them both.

Some ideas:

- Eastern, KIPP Legacy, Friendship, Thurgood for your older child to commute to themselves. All have short wait lists and a decent cohort of students passing standardized tests. Definitely ask around the neighborhood for recommendations

- Sojourner Truth is in close proximity to Stokes Brookland and is fairly well regarded

- Thomson is well-liked by families there, short waitlist, feeds into one of the better middle schools, and is sort-of on the way to MacArthur [/quote]
