[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS commutes from Old Town Alex to The Heights....about 40 mins each way, on the bus.  We couldn't do it if the school didn't provide a bus.  DS (high school) sleeps in the morning, and does HW on the way home.  Bus leaves Old Town at 7am, and he gets off the bus at 3:45.  It is quite reasonable; he plays travel soccer, and is able to make practice 4x a week.  [/quote]

Wow.  I know a family in Old Town that also sends their son to The Heights (in the elementary grades).  I was kind of surprised when I learned of the distance he was traveling. They say it's worth it.  For a teenager, that seems fine.  It just seemed far for an elementary student.

We also know families from DC and Bethesda and Silver Spring whose kids take the bus each day to the Potomac School.  It seems so far!  They complained that, when winter comes, there are often a lot of 2-hour delays (more so than even MCPS) because the kids are coming from everywhere.  The Potomac School seems awesome, but if I lived across the river, I don't know if I'd send my child there.[/quote]
