[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do it.  We did and now I regret that my DC isn't really friends with the neighborhood kids and all his school friends live too far away to have over.  If I could do it again, I would have stuck with the neighborhood school...especially for the elementary school years.[/quote]

Just to present a different point of view, I will share that my DC goes to a private school across town but is very good friends with neighborhood kids who attend the public school. It is not a given that your child won't have neighborhood friends without attending the neighborhood school. Many factors go into this. Our DC also has play dates with school friends. As kids get older they tend to have more activities and fewer play dates, of course.[/quote]

OP here. I'm actually not at all worried about the friend issue right now. We don't mind traveling to different parts of the city for play dates and often do so on our own on the weekends. I'm also not worried about DC not knowing kids in the neighborhood, since we're at the neighborhood school right now and have made friends there. Just the commute...[/quote]
