[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:33 - would you stay in DC if you could afford to buy a home in ward 3?[/quote]

We can afford to buy in Ward 3 - we're closing on a Mo. Co. property that wouldn't look out of place in NW.  What we can't afford are privates for 2 kids from 6th up, plus college, and don't like the bubble environment at privates.  We aren't as concerned about Deal as Wilson.  We can't bank on our math-oriented kids being admitted to Walls, and aren't inspired by modest quant offerings there anyway.  Our children are shy and advanced academically and we aren't crazy about them being at Wilson eventually, with many tough kids needing remediation, or the lack of self-contained school-within-a-school academies.  After our Two Rivers experience, Basis sounds too good to be true (Two Rivers also promised challenge).  If DC offered a top math/science focused test-in academy, different story.  We will miss city life a lot, planning to return as empty nesters.  For us, too many risks (financially, socially and academically) in staying.
