[quote=Anonymous]Gosh this thread has gone off the rails.

OP, I currently live in Old Town Alexandria with my husband and preschool-aged daughter, and we are planning to move to NWDC, hopefully in an area zoned for one of the JKLMM schools (might've gotten the acronym wrong, but you know what I mean).  We don't want to live in N. Arlington for the same reasons you seem not to, and those same reasons also disqualify Bethesda.  Because a decent commuting time is a must for us, we are left with the decision to move into the District.  Obviously there is some concern among the denizens regarding sending a kid to Wilson High School, but it seems like we'd be set with the public elementary and middle schools, and I am not opposed to Wilson and/or checking out private school for HS if we have to.  (Thinking a long time down the road here.)

I have thought about this decision a great deal, and I wonder if I am making a mistake not just picking up a place in Cherrydale or Lyon Hill and accepting that is where we have to be for the long haul.  Because the schools are "better" and of course I want to give my child the best foundation I can.  But life is about so much more than that, and no school is perfect.

I don't know if this helps at all.  Just my two cents.[/quote]
