[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would consider Arlington and solid elementary/middle/ and high school path.  It is easy commute to where you will be.

You have to think about middle school and chances are slim to none for the charters.  [/quote]

I'm not moving to Arlington, full stop. We're returning to DC if either of these jobs come through and sticking with the Kingman Park house. I'm aware of the challenges with many DC middle and high schools.[/quote]

Wow. I’m a Hill mom, in bounds for Stuart Hobson and my kid goes to Basis and I would suggest that you move to the burbs. Which is what you don’t want to do so I got nothing else for you. I walk past Stuart Hobson all the time walking my dog and I’m glad my kids don’t go there, though there are some great kids there and the principal seems really really engaged and hardworking.

Your reaction to someone saying moving isn’t feasible for the family financially is “wow,” because you view the outside of a school their kids might possibly attend and are glad yours doesn’t go there? You sound like real gem.

Why do these posters always have kids at BASIS? [/quote]

I’m the PP who said that - I didn’t clarify - not based on the building facility at all (obviously a much better physical facility than Basis, ye old office building with one narrow staircase and no outdoor space)- based on the behavior of a lot of the students that I see daily before school and during recess/lunch. Some of them are great, but a lot of not great behavior . Can be a great fit for some kids! Not great for some. I’m just saying if I were answering OP’s original post my initial reaction is burbs.
