[quote=Anonymous]We moved from the Belle View pyramid to a "better" school district and paid a premium for our home. We had a lot of the same questions you do, and while I really miss Alexandria and our old neighborhood, I think we made the right decision.

As far as the education goes, I notice a huge difference, especially in terms of DS's peer group. At his old school, we were always being told how smart he was and how far ahead of everyone he was. Now, he is distinctly average. Everyone here is smart. I feel like it's pushing him to work harder. I don't know how this will play out as he gets older--will the competition be too much?--but right now, I appreciate that he's with kids who are pushing him. That said, I do think there is something to be said for being the smartest kid at a more average school instead of being an average kid at the best school.

It's a tough decision, but I think that you really can't go wrong with a home in a great school district. We also factored in commute, and DH's commute is exactly the same as it was from our old home.[/quote]
