[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I wish it hadn't been necessary, but DD didn't get into Banneker or Walls (despite good enough grades to be eligible) or any good lottery schools, so here we are. It hasn't been easy socially but after the first year it was okay. I very much miss the Hill feel and row house density and I loathe having a yard.[/quote]

Eesh, this is my fear. We've made middle school work and I'm now facing down 8th grade with a kid whose transcript is perfect. But what if that isn't enough? Like PP, we have an only and have contemplated renting in a dense part of W3 or Silver Spring.

Well, to be fair, DD's grades were good enough but not great, and I love her but she doesn't interview well or have impressive extracurrics.

I think you can hope for a good lottery number, check out Truth for high school, or look into privates. [b]Our Lady of the Bad Lottery Numbers [/b]probably has a seat for you if you don't mind Catholic mass![/quote]

LOL! This is the content I come to DCUM for. So stealing line that if we wind up in a similar position when our elementary age kid is ready for high school. [/quote]
