Here is the thing, though.  Any school other than a very top choice is a school you might leave.  And your top choice may change over time. [b]We are at ITS and find it good, but would still leave for certain schools.[/b]  And it is hard to know now, as the parent of a child who is 2 or 3, how things will go.  Schools can change for the better or for the worse, or a charter can move locations.  What you think fits your child and your child's interests now might turn out not to fit.  I know people who are unhappy with upper elementary or middle grades at just about every HRCS.  So I totally see why someone might have trepidations about Langley given the test scores, but the idea that you will never switch may be unrealistic.  The bar for schools in DC is overall pretty low, and a school can still have a long waitlist even with serious shortcomings.

Also, changing schools midyear was a little tough on my kids but I would not really describe it as "heartache".  If you stay in your house you can still maintain neighborhood friendships.  We went with our IB (Seaton) prior to ITS anf it was not a big deal to switch, after the first month or so.  [/quote]

Which schools would you consider leaving ITS for? And for what reasons? Just working on my lottery list here :)[/quote]
