[quote=Anonymous]Your story is a common one. DC public schools are screwed up in ways that create winners and losers in a way the better suburban school systems in the Metro area don't. If you're not well off, can't afford valuable real estate and lack lottery luck, you can get pushed out. This isn't the fault of fellow parents. Politicians and ed leaders are to blame. The silver lining is that by leaving, you'll do better on schools than those who stay in the DC public school system, even if they're well off. Even the best DC options--JKLM, Brent, Maury, Deal, J-R, Walls, the Latins, BASIS, DCI etc.--aren't nearly as good overall as top public schools in MoCo, Arlington and Fairfax. Most families who leave for the burbs are happy they did. Good to go before your kids are middle school age. Good luck. [/quote]
