[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my family is one that sat in the lottery for a long time and left our kid in a "bad" school for too long and regret it. my child was bullied. in hindsight, we should of moved ASAP giving the unlikely odds of actually landing a spot in desired school.

I think this is key. If you are unhappy with your elementary school, feeder pattern aside, then no don’t keep your child there. But if you are otherwise happy, feeder pattern aside, then I don’t see the harm in continuing to play the lottery. Maybe you’ll get lucky or maybe you won’t, but there’s so much school choice in DC and MCPS that it’s really NBD to wait to relocate.[/quote]

No don’t wait.  Housing prices go up especially in better schools so the earlier you move, the better chance you will get into the neighborhood you want.  If you wait, you might be priced out and have to move further out.

So many people have made this mistake and regretted it big time.[/quote]

Forgot to add, the crime in DC has gotten much worst and also driving families out so this will also drive up demand and thus prices in the burbs.[/quote]
