Dupont is great because there is a lot to offer. With a preschool kid, however, the school situation will get complicated quickly if you stay in the DC area. Before you know it, you're going to be thinking about middle schools and high schools. If you're considering independent schools, I strongly recommend looking at upper NW and Bethesda now. I know that some of these neighborhoods seem soul sucking but travel time is VERY real. If you're thinking public or charter for middle and high school, also look carefully at the options and what the daily commute would look like.[/quote]

If we stick with our in-bounds school, we'll stay there through middle school but agree on high school. We don't have a game plan, a lot is going to depend on our kid to some extent and where they will do best. Having the same school for K-Middle seems like a good thing, but we'll see.[/quote]

if HS solution is not immediately apparent you need to through the options now. we made the mistake of "we will figure it out later" with our 3 and a newborn at the time, and it turned out, the only solution was to move. we felt like there would be a lot of time to figure things out but actually 1) the passage of time didn't solve anything; no new HS options appeared; if anything what we loosely assumed could be options turned out not to be 2) we started getting anxious about the HS much earlier than we anticipated. you are not going to live at peace for the next 7 or 8 years. you won't hit a middle school before you start obsessing about what to do with HS.[/quote]
