[quote=Anonymous]OP I think this depends a lot on where you live? It sounds like you are OOB for Mann and Eaton so the walkability benefit of DCPS may not be there for you. OTOH Deal and J-R are totally fine options and not so much worse than suburban schools that you would be forced to move.

I guess what I would say is that if you are already setting yourself up for a long commute to ES and have other reasons to move to the burbs (like a nicer house) then go ahead and do that now.

For reference - we stuck it out at our EOTP schools through MS very happily and now have to move for HS to Arlington. I always knew this might be a possibility but it sucks to face. A big part of me does wish we did it in ES just so my kid would not have to face such a big transition. OTOH I agree with posters that friend groups change and most of kid’s MS friends are scattering to different HSs anyway. I am hoping that since the APS HS is so big and draws from several MS kid will be able to find some friends.

I also agree about walkability - you can choose spots in the “suburbs” that are still walkable or even more dense than a lot of DC neighborhoods. [/quote]
