[quote=Anonymous]Well, I think your ability to stick around really depends on how picky you are about what kind of middle school and how far to travel for it.  Here is our story-- we bought childless in 2010, zoned for Shaed (Edgewood).  We knew the IB schools were very low-scoring and the charters were a mixed bag, but we loved the neighborhood and the short commute.  Got re-zoned to Langley when Shaed closed, and by golly I loved Langley.  Three happy years were spent there before getting into ITS and feeling like we had to take it.  If my children were a little bit younger we'd probably still be at Langley.  ITS has been fine.  Now lotterying for Latin, maybe Latin II, and failing that, DCI for 6th (happy to accept beginner placement in any language).   If those things don't work out we'll stick with ITS and try for Walls and Banneker, or McKinley Tech if DD is so inclined.  Worst-case, we move to a condo in upper NW while renting out our townhouse here.  The kids will like being close to school and all amenities for a while, maybe we'll get a building with a gym and pool or whatever.

I regret nothing, Langley and ITS have been great and we will have had short commutes for everyone in the family for 11 years.  Edgewood is a wonderful neighborhood and whenever we sell, we'll do well.  [/quote]
