There are so many variables to this question that will completely change the answer. 
Do you love your house and your mortgage rate? 
Do you have the flexibility to drive across town for a few years or are you near a decent bus route for your kids to commute?
What are your kids into? How do they spend their time and what are their extracurriculars?
What’s your plan beyond HS for yourselves? Will you stay in DC forever?

We are an EOTP family that ended up commuting across town for Hardy. I would have been disappointed if we had up and moved out of our house for it, to be honest. We ultimately ended up in private for HS (which we’d never really even planned or considered, we always thought we’d just feed to JR). But what we learned about our kids in middle school coupled with their extracurriculars, led us to exit DCPS. If we had moved and stretched our housing budget we wouldn’t have felt like that was an option.

But if you didn’t lottery in and you have to move to get into those schools, I think in hindsight at least for us, it would’ve been better to totally leave DC and head for a suburban school. [/quote]
