[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read your other thread. If you are willing to move to MD or VA, it doesn't seem you are wedded to an urban lifestyle. Have you thought about moving to a Chicago suburb? You'll find everything you're looking for in a school and have local control - something you won't have in DC, MD or VA. MCPS, FCPS and DCPS are all huge bureaucracies similar to Chicago Public Schools. We were in MCPS for 6 years and I so missed my local Chicago suburban district. We are now in a different state but in a suburb with local control. Makes a huge difference. And the places people are suggesting for you -- Herndon, Chantilly etc are fine but imho you'd be better off in Northbrook, Deerfield, Clarendon Hills, Glen Ellen or many other places with your budget.

But if she wants a wicker park feel, deerfield and the like will fail miserably. [/quote]

Oh, I get that! But if schools are your top priority sometimes you can't have everything. And since she's willing to move to MoCo (as she said in the other thread, Gaithersburg doesn't have a Wicker Park feel either (and, unfortunately, that is the closest in they'll be with a 575,000 budget). Also, at 3 you don't know what kind of student your child will be so it is ridiculous to move to Fairfax on the off chance your child will get into TJ (not that op is doing that, someone else suggested it).[/quote]
