[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for this thoughtful response.  We are certainly not assuming our kid would get in but if he does, we won't have long to make a decision so I just want to have a good sense of the school.  It's interesting that you mention the commute.  Unless we moved, it would be a half hour or so commute - I hear you on possibly renting near the school.  Do most of the students live close by or near one another?  I imagine that socially being from farther away could be challenging too.[/quote]

OP, the catchment area is large, so you will get a few kids from way out in Great Falls, VA or Frederick, MD, etc.   A 30 min commute is not terrible, and is  actually in the range for a lot of kids who live in DC.  It can take forever to get from one point of DC to another.

When you said commuting from far away, I was thinking one hour plus each way, which some families actually do. However, I think 30 min would be my outer limit for each way.  I say that as a former commuter during elementary years.  We moved in once DC started middle school. The commute does take a toll on the kids once there’s more homework and academics get more demanding.  .
