[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as I know the old soldiers home still has old soldiers in it.[/quote]
Actually there are many empty buildings on the grounds of the Old Soldiers Home.  Wow I was trying not to get too invested in any of the pie in the sky lottery schools so I wouldn't be too disappointed, but if they are moving right across from where we live, that's going to be hard. 
If that's true I wonder if they would have access to a lot of the green space there. Golf,  fishing, gardening and cyclocross in after care! [/quote]

Tell me about it. Think that at least 200 of the 1,000 people applying will drop off due to location?[/quote]

You can count on at least one--my family. We are very close to the current location and thought of it as our top choice, but the new location isn't accessible to public transit and will be a nightmare for us, assuming the DCUM info is accurate. [/quote]

I love when people think bus into public transportation.  What small town are you from?[/quote]

We take the bus every day to my toddler's daycare, so I am certainly not anti-bus. But having to walk .63 miles from the closest bus stop to the school (according to the WMATA trip planner) is a no-go for me with a three-year old. [/quote]

Sounds pretty reasonable to me for why someone would see that as a "no go".  For any aged child (i.e. accompanying the child to school or the child going on their own).

If that is indeed the public transport reality for their new space, sounds like they are really self-selecting for parents with cars or funds to pay for a school bus.  Kinda adds to the perception that is intended for families who wanted private school in a publicly funded setting.[/quote]
