[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends who paid inflated prices to buy in the Key district so they could send their kids to ASFS are shaking in their boots right now.  I understand their concern, but it never seemed fair to be able to pay to play.[/quote]

No one pays a premium for ASFS over say Taylor or Jamestown. It's all about Clarendon and metro access. Granted metro is failing and Clarendon retail is going stale, those are real problems. [/quote]

I'll tell my friends that they lied to me, then, when they said they were only house shopping in Key b/c they wanted their kids at ASFS.[/quote]

Huh. That's weird. I live in the Key zone, but we paid for the walkability and short commute to the city. More power to them, I guess.[/quote]
you either don't have school age kids that you were planning on sending to a public school or don't actually live in that area.  I can't think of anyone with school age kids that wouldn't factor in schools when buying a house. [/quote]

I have toddlers, so we absolutely factored in schools. That's why we weren't looking in Alexandria or DC. I just don't think ASFS is any better than Taylor or Long Branch, which are geographically the closest schools after Key and ASFS. We will be fine in any of them, but prefer a neighborhood school.
