[quote=Anonymous]It is a really big plus to live close to the school and to many potential friends for your DC.  And you clearly feel comfortable with the school, so go for it! And realize that this decision is not irrevocable, if the school becomes a less good fit by MS or HS, particularly HS, the issues of the commute and playdates are no longer such an issue, and your DC will have a more defined social and academic "personality" and may or may not want to move or need to move.  The school is pretty large by high school, allowing a broad course catalog and quite a lot of differentiation.  Our DCs chose to go to a close to home PK-3 (then 6 now 8) school over some of the big 5 schools and it was a great decision.  For upper LS MS and HS they moved on easily and happily, having spent more time with family and friends and less time in the car, in a small warm school that got them off to a great start.  And one moved between two big 5 schools for HS on for reasons of personal choice and sports, and that went smoothly as well.  So don't worry, go with your decision now without second guessing!
