[quote=Anonymous]The PTA for the elementary schools in the mini-cluster used to have a pin that said "OPC" - it stood for "Other People's Children" as in we care not just for our kids but for all the kids at our schools.  So, OP - look at the statistics and have a little conversation about what you want for your child - not with dcurbanmom community - but your spouse and family.  If you value the experience of sending your child to a highly successful school that is also diverse, then purchase a home that will probably be in the boundary for the new middle school. If, you are for whatever reason not comfortable with socio-economic and racial diversity (in elementary school or middle school) then just don't buy in the downcounty area.

Studies show that kids who attend diverse schools make more diverse choices in life (work, housing, spouse).  So, make your choice about the world you want your child to be comfortable in when he or she grows up.  No school in the BCC cluster is going to be bad, but if you want your child to attend a school just among the elite - that is a reasonable choice - but you will have to purchase a home in such a community or pay for private school.
