[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things I wish I knew then that I know now: 1. Buy a house in a neighborhood with a good IB feeder pattern through high school (don't rely on charters). 2. Don't assume you will "just move" when you get to middle school/high school. It's VERY difficult on kids socially as they get older. It's also hard to move as an adult and make new friends in a new neighborhood. 3. Private are not a guaranteed option C. It's a very competitive market. 4. It all does work out, despite the stress. But, I wish I had just bought a house in NW when my kid was in PK3.[/quote] Agree, except on the second point. There is so much movement in DC schools, particularly at the middle school level, that switching schools within DC is very normal. Moving houses or moving into a more insular suburban school is a different situation, but a move across the park is not a huge deal.[/quote]
