Lots of families get to MS and realize, you know what, we just want a decent-to-excellent MS and HS option that is by right with no worries about applications, lotteries, long commutes, etc. And suburban districts with larger schools start to look appealing too because the large school scan offer everything -- honors tracking, AP and/or IB, strong foreign language, strong arts programs, athletics, etc. That's the advantage of having large high schools with big catchment areas -- they have the money and space to be all things to all people, and if you can buy IB for a good one, it solves like 8 problems at once.

Yes, you give up your nice life on the Hill. Not everyone we know who moved bought, or have the intention of staying forever, and many kept their homes on the Hill with the intent to move back. Who knows, maybe they will. But it's easy to say in mid-elementary that you are in it for the long haul -- you're at an ES you like and most people around you are in the same situation. Things change a lot in MS.[/quote]

Hmm. One of the reasons I stayed on the Hill rather than move to the suburbs is because I wanted to avoid the huge suburban middle schools. [/quote]
