[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No question WOTP. Brent is mediocre in every sense of school measures compared to JKLMM. Put aside the isolated cap hill debate, it does not have middle or high school options. I can see people who bought there 10+ years ago that want to make it work but buying now, I woudlbt even consider cap hill. For the same price you can get WOTP and a house with a yard and not have to worry about lottery for &quot;decent&quot; charter (and commute that comes with it) or shelling out $$ for private. Sorry, not trying to slam Cap Hill, but no amount of ice skating parks would persuade me otherwise. FWIW I am ward 4 so not trying to justify just saying what I would do if in OP's shoes. [/quote]

For Janney or Murch -- the cost is likely higher for largely inferior housing stock, even if you do get a yard. You can still buy &lt;$1mil in Cap Hill historic and get a decent option.  You're looking closer to &gt;$1.2mil  for decent housing stock in these areas. And it's like like there a ready supply in JM -- maybe you can get more house in Lafayette if you're willing to go further north and east.  Of course you could always look at Hearst if you want to sacrifice best elementary options for best MS

As for Key or Mann (or Eaton for that matter) -- you're looking at Hardy for MS, which would likely be in play if desired even if you chose to stay on the Hill.  I'd argue the options are not really better for MS in that scenario aside from having the Wilson option for high school.  You could probably get into Stuart Hobson OOB and that would be roughly comparable to Hardy and you're stuck with Eastern.  If charters are in play for you (and they should be) - Basis is easier to access from the Hill.  Latin is probably a wash from Hardy feeder areas and you can find shuttles from NW and the Hill.[/quote]
