[quote=Anonymous]Depends on your tolerance for potential change/risk - and what your expectations are around schools.  If you and your wife have perpetual anxiety over whether a school *might* improve or not - or you may or may not get into schools in the lottery - then move now either to a Deal/Wilson zoned house in DC or to the suburbs.  I would do it sooner rather than later if - b/c I moved to upper NW later, and missed out on some of the earlier mommy/daddy and child friendship years.  It's not that big a deal in some respects, but missed out on some attachment/connection to the community where we ended up.  If I had lower tolerance for the the upper NW DCPS situation, I would go straight to the suburbs, but having grown up in the suburbs here (Fairfax schools) - I prefer being in NW and Deal/Wilson honestly.  But if you want a 'sure bet' of quality school - but everyone is 'the same' (including the top tier of kids all competing with each other all the time) than go straight to the burbs.[/quote]
