[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’d be OK with a parochial HS later on, and could afford one, it’s worth staying. You won’t get stuck w/Catholic school as your parachute. Public middle school is manageable from CH even if you don’t get lucky at BASIS or one of the Latins. HS can be the deal breaker.[/quote] ECE parent here. That’s our tentative plan though we know a lot can change. Think we may have found a solid enough prek-8 path in DCPS, assuming no lottery luck in middle, then banneker/mckinley/walls if DC can get in. Building up DCs 529 in case the selective high schools or charters don’t work out and Eastern hasn’t changed much by then. You can use 529 for both k12 and college.[/quote] There is another thread right now that talks a lot about McKinley and Banneker with many posts from parents that are there, if anybody wants to learn more about those two options. Everybody is different and many people move and are happier that they move. But there are tons of people who are in schools here and very happy that they stayed, so do what is best for your family. A panic move when your kid is only one might not be the best for every family.[/quote]
