[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the move to stay in the same middle/high school pyramid that you were expecting pre-rezoning?  Any chance the dad would move into the zone and you can stay where you are but your son could attend based on his address?  Does your son already have a good group of friends that will be at the school?

Middle school is the worst, being a new kid can be hard.  If there are a lot of kids shifting with him it may be less hard than starting from scratch.

My son has a good group of friends in elementary school, but they’re all going different directions for middle school—one to a magnet program, one to private school, and another family is moving out of state.

There are also no kids his age in our neighborhood. Most of our neighbors are between 50–80, except for two families who recently moved in with babies. The lack of neighborhood friends and social opportunities is another factor in my thinking about moving.

His dad is settled in a paid-off home in a neighborhood full of young families and an active community. I could afford to buy within walking distance.

Based on your original post, I was anti-moving. But, being walking distance to the other parent, assuming kid goes back and forth regularly and you co-parent well, would be a big plus.[/quote]
