[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are nuts to buy based on liking the MS principal when your youngest is only 4.

+1  I would bet a million dollars (well, if I had a million dollars) that she won't be there when your kid gets there.  Unfortunately that's just the reality in DCPS.[/quote]

And I'd bet another million (if I, too, had a million dollars) that OP will be long gone by the time her kid enters middle school. [/quote]

OP here. I will be gone where? Tell me where to go! I am serious.

Everywhere we searched , renting is higher than the monthly payment for a $225,000 mortgage. We will soon be four, and have a granpa living with us (God bless him, incredibly competent and loving babysitter). We could indeed find something equally affordable at more than 2 hours total daily commuting time, compared to 40 minutes if we get a house steps from the Blue Line. Commuting would be ok for us, but would take away supervision/study/quality time with the kids, which would be much more detrimental to them than a school with 8% peers at grade level. And I have reasons to be confident they would be among those at grade level or beyond.

So, please tell me where to go, with a nursing assistant salary at a medical facility along the blue line, and a secretarial job in the federal government.

Sorry , I know I am getting out of topic, I was hoping to get some insights on these two schools. Instead what I am finding is a bunch of people telling me what do with my life with little/no awareness of the challenges lower income people are undergoing, especially if they plan to complete a college degree (like one of us).

[b]I guess this board is not the place to find Nalle and KM's families.[/b] Good bye.

That is true - you won't find much helpful or recent on here.  I suggest you go visit in person and determine if it fits right for you.  No need for judgmental spewage from DCUM.[/quote]
