[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why are you moving. Bigger house, better schools? What is your real motivator. Would you have been happy with Wilson HS in DC or are you looking for a better school than Wilson.

If you are moving to close-in Silver Spring, with your budget, I would just go ahead and move to TPES>TPMS>Blair. Blair is nearly impossible to get through the DCC lottery. It is also easier to get into the MS magnet if you are zoned to Takoma Park, because they set aside a certain number of seats for in-bound students. [/quote]

OP here - we aren’t currently in the Wilson zone. I would be fine staying in DC if we could move in bounds for Wilson, but I really don’t think we can afford it. We are currently at a title I school east of the park for pre-K. We’re very happy there now, but considering we need more space anyway, we’re looking to secure a good school pattern through HS, somewhere close in where we can afford four bedrooms.  So I guess space is the primary motivator.  I’m too risk averse to rely on the DC school lottery.

I’ve been looking into Takoma Park more and think it’s a good fit! Thanks for all the helpful suggestions
