[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you in advance for reading my long and complicated post!

We are a family of 6 (6 yo, 4 yo, twin babies) looking to move to DC next June from Australia. We are dual citizens.

Because my daughter will be 7yo when we arrive, we are looking to move to a neighborhood where we can attend in boundary elementary through high schools.

I will be working throughout DC, in wards 4,5,6, 7 and 8 via car. My main office will be between Georgetown and Downtown. My partner hasn't decided on a job, but he's flexible. It would be great to live near(ish) to work, but since I'll be travelling during the day anyway, that's not the main priority.

We are a bit stressed about this move- mainly because we don't want to uproot our children and then have them attend a school only to have us switch them out to a new school soon after. This is why we want to enrol in the in-boundary schools.

Could you please advise on your favorite elementary, middle and/or high schools and share why? We are looking for schools with a strong sense of community that are friendly and safe. We have been looking at neighborhoods in NW. Our housing budget is $1.25 million.

Thank you![/quote]

Have you considered living in Bethesda, MD, right on the DC/MD border by the river. Much better schools through middle and high school as well as zippy enough commutes all over DC, VC, MD. Esp in west bethesda I often go on GW parkway (in VA), Clara Barton, MacArthur, River Road, Massachusettrs or slug it out on Wisconsin or COnnecticut if I have to.   Whitman HS cluster or Bethesda Chevy Chase cluster. [/quote]
