[quote=Anonymous]Moving to the burbs is a cautionary reference for those who might get too attached to the wonderfulness that is life with kids on the Hill.  Things are going fine, and your kids are making friends, but then the reality of crappy middle schools becomes more than some vague point in the distance.  Even if you manage to hang on with Latin or whatever, it's not the cozy little bubble that is imagined and expectations need to be adjusted.  It sucks.[/quote]

Well said, who could argue with that.

I already have my doubts about Latin, BASIS, and even the future DCI, for a kid in the lower elementary grades at Maury.   Probably no room for our small fry by the time the 5th grade lottery rolls around, too far from the Hill, too many kids who can't test proficient (wait till BASIS' test scores come out this summer) let alone advanced without much MS ability grouping beyond math, and meager DC charter funding and facilities.

Why oh why can't we have one Fairfax or MoCo quality MS program in this city that our kids could attend if they could test in?  I'd go for a healthy dose of affirmative action admissions for FARMs kids if we had such a 6-8 program.
