[quote=Anonymous]OP - I haven't had time to read all the comments so you may have already addressed this, but it sounds like you are considering something like St. Albans v. Potomac. If your decision is something like that, a big big issue for you as mom will be driving - unless your DH is able to help out, as mine has been able to. It's not only the daily driving that will drive you nuts (especially if you have to drive into the district ?) during rush hour, but it's the playdate driving, the PTA driving, the fundraiser driving. We're currently in private that takes almost an hour roundtrip to make the drive. It has been worth every penny, but the moment DD starts talking about a playdate on the weekend, we shudder because kids live everywhere. The school is just a hub on an enormous wheel. Parties and driving will suck you dry. I've been at it almost 20 years. So I would go with the school most convenient to your home unless there is a bus option. Even with a bus option, remember that the weekend activities will still require one of you to drive to Leesburg or Rockville or Mt. Vernon for parties and playdates. It's just a fact of public school life. Good luck! [/quote]
