Would you ebike downtown after? In bad weather? Trying to think that through because we’ve never bike commuted across town without a backup plan.
Yes exactly. Probably not in poor weather. In that case maybe park and take the 16th street bus?
Honestly doubt either of us will have to work in person every day, so hoping to work things out between carpools, shuttle, ebike, and just driving. If parents can split the duty it’s much easier.
That sounds exhausting. Imagine the time and energy you would save by attending a school near your home. Quality of life is important.
It’s not actually that far.
Do you take your kids across town to any activities? Is it exhausting? We do it for the education we want our kids to have. That’s also important.
DP. Yeah but twice a day, 5 days a week for 5-8 years is an entirely different commitment. There’s a cost benefit that goes into whether that commute is worth the incremental increase of that particular school versus a neighborhood option (of which there are many in Brookland).
Increase of LAMB over our IB or local DCPS? Yes, worth it.
Other charters? We’d need to lottery in which so far we haven’t except once. We did our homework and made this decision.
Having both Montessori and Spanish is truly rare and for us it’s worth it.

We did the opposite. Turned down Lamb. We were told no shuttle after campus closes.
We don’t live in Brookland but a number of Brookland families in our DC’s class at MV.

No shuttle for next year
You need to stop saying that. It’s not yet been determined.
That should tell you something. It’s June.

The commute to Kingsbury and then back to downtown in rush hour is going to be hell. If you work downtown, plan over 1 hour plus.
Families in Brookland are trying to lottery into the MV campus in Brookland. It’s walkable, bike able, or 5 minutes by car.
Huge quality of life difference.

Closes in two years. Most families try the commute but eventually peel off. School doesn’t care about retaining them.
