Although the school may stay at the new location more than 2 years, keep in mind there are several buildings that will be coming up for grabs in the next few years, so it is also possible they will make a bid for an old DCPS building.

The lease is for 2 years. My understanding is that the building is large enough to house the whole school as it grows to capacity, so it MAY stay, but nothing is set beyond the 2 year lease. However, they are planning to build a playground next year which makes me think/hope they're expecting to be there beyond 2 years.

I thought it was a two year lease? Not trying to start any rumors...newly accepted family here and I would love it to stay at the new location. Maybe a current family can chime in here.

It looks like the families will be changing due to the move, but they won't be moving after this move, right?

Go with what you think will work for about 4 years and see how things develop. Middle school choices are changing in DC and I think there will be many more to choose from by the time these prek'ers are headed there.
I think this is good advice.
Perhaps, but OP has a 2nd grader so she's not trying to plan the next 8-12 years, just to see whether OP might be an option for her DC for 5th or 6th grade. It sounds like probably not an option.
I think it really depends on the kid. Do you think your middle-school kid would thrive in a small school environment with 20-50 other kids in his/her class, or would they be better off in a class of 100-200? Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it may be very difficult to know the answer when your child is only in 2nd grade.
