[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it helps, we're in Petworth and everyone we know that's left has gone to MoCo. Mostly Takoma Park/Silver Spring, some to Bethesda. You'd be in good company if you ended up there![/quote]

Also in Petworth, my kids lucked into a J-R feeder and we are also probably suburb bound because the schools just aren't good enough to justify the cost of moving in bounds.  [/quote]

Why move in-bounds if you lotteried into a feeder? Isn't that the entire point of the lottery? And I'm not saying J-R is perfect, but it's certainly not any worse than Takoma Park and Silver Spring schools. Sounds like OP isn't considering Bethesda or McLean, so apples to apples, her "upper NW" and MCPS options (Blair, Einstein) are going to be very similar.[/quote]

Because the commute is extremely disruptive for marginal educational benefit (in our case).[/quote]

Where are you looking to move though? I'm assuming not Takoma Park if you're looking for more than a marginal benefit in the move...[/quote]

I don't have answers to your questions about my specific case because it is still theoretical for us.  My point for OP was just that it maybe shouldn't be an "all eggs in one basket" consideration.  We "won the lottery" and it has been an underwhelming experience that we are not in a hurry to stretch ourselves to pay for.[/quote]
