[quote=Anonymous]I second Langley. And, more generally, do take a closer look at the inbound school your address feeds into. Run it through the online school locator system to make sure you've got it covered right with the new boundaries. Don't rely on your past experience, even if it's from a year or two ago, things change quickly around here. And then take a detailed look at that school. "It's not very good" doesn't mean anything. Are the students not? The teachers? The facilities? It your child generally does well in school, you may be pleasantly surprised. Seek a conversation with the principal and ask specific questions about the curriculum, the routines, particular challenges, test scores. And ask for a couple of parent contacts. If the teachers are solid, then your child will be fine. Having the school nearby, will save you trouble and help smooth your return to DC by a lot is my prediction (it certainly did for us when we returned).[/quote]
