Baring certain special needs situations, I don’t think any school is worth more than 30 minutes in a regular basis.


I agree with this. We are applying out right now and my husband and I agreed that we would not enroll anywhere that exceeded a 20sh minute drive. It is such a time suck for everyone. It’s not worth it.

20 mins during morning rush hour. 15 minutes in the afternoon. (Would be 20-25 minutes during evening rush). Private school.

K-8 10 minutes each way.
It’s part of the reason we chose the school. I’m not spending 1-2 hours a day in the car driving to and from school.

I'm jealous. We don't have any schools that would be a 5 - 10 minute drive. In traffic, even our local public school would likely be 10-15. For private we're probably looking at 20 minutes for most of them.

K-8 is 5 minutes. It’s amazing and I love how many kids we see walking to school along the way. Exceptionally strong community.

High school is 20 minutes in the morning. 30-45 on the at home if you catch bad timing (which we usually do). It’s fine. Kids come from all over the DMV.

Inspired by the Potomac thread. How long is your kid's commute to school and what grade are they in?
