[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was much less of a consideration where I grew up because it was a small town with a whole lot of farmland around it. Since the school district stretched 30-40 miles in diameter and there weren't any good private options in town, everyone went to the same middle and high schools. There was absolutely some avoidance of the one "bad" elementary school, but the other 10 were considered fine. Moving out of the district entirely was a big undertaking so most people didn't consider it.[/quote] This is the way it was where I grew up as well. But my husband grew up in the DC area, and his family moved when he finished elementary to get into "better" schools. I also work with a partner who relocated here in the early 80's- he told me that he was advised by people at the firm that the only acceptable places to buy were in those areas zoned for Whitman, Churchill and Langley high schools. So I don't think it's a new thing around here.[/quote]
