[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the whole thread but will throw in my two cents. Don't rely on the lottery if the IB is not a viable option. There are a lot of great things about school "choice", but it's always a good idea to have a viable backup (your IB). Don't move somewhere with the thinking that you will move when the kids are older to a better school district/house/location. As kids get older, the transition to a new schoo/friends gets harder socially. We moved our kid in 5th grade (thanks charters), and it was a much harder transition than we expected. Also, we made great friends through our kids' elementary school and we're now invested socially in our neighborhood, even though we would prefer a better school option and a better house. I sometimes wish we had moved when the kids were younger to a neighborhood/house/school system that we would be comfortable in for the long haul. Can we move now? Yes, but it's so much harder on everyone.[/quote]
