[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am struggling with this choice. Commute wise, living in this area would be absolute cake, but I look at the Burke schools (for example since they are in a similar price point) and I'm trying to figure out if the risk is worth living in a gorgeous area (I absolutely love the trail). Middle school and high school worry me. [/quote] A SFH in Burke for 550k is probably not going to happen. A townhouse, yes, but not SFH. I’m surprised by the parents talking about no concerns with Sandburg given how high teacher turnover is and how the teachers who have been their forever are not so great. West Po is fine, but Sandburg is a weak link. FWIW, we were fine with the prospect of our kids going to TC (and have had many friends that were happy with their TC experience), but left Del Ray because the elementary school was legitimately terrible. [/quote] Ironic stance since the longtime elementary school principal is now running TC/AC.[/quote]
