Reply to comment by AnonyJustAName in Where Should I Enroll My Kids While I’m On A Work Assignment In Southwest Waterfront? by BullishBunny89

Honestly, Op needs to tell us their budget. Also deal is massive, they could live in Glover Park instead and use Hardy/Stoddert. And parts of arlington work well too. But everything we are suggesting are 5-6k/mo for a 4 bedroom. .

There are a lot of options, but the one I suggested has the benefit of proximity (good schools w/in a few blocks of each other, easily walkable, w/lots of rentals nearby) and would not require a car for drop offs. JR for the 10th grader is not walkable from GP. For 4 months they could fit in a smaller than 4br, this area has few of those. Hope work is compensating for lodging and per diem, pretty disruptive to move kids to a new school system for 4 months. OP, can you have extended family stay with the kids for such a short time so as not to disrupt their schooling and lives?

oh yeah, but the 30-series busses are very popular with JR students and pretty frequent; i'm hoping the 10th grader can take care of themselves a bit. commute would require a car though; but Glover Park is a bit cheaper.

It would depend if OP would want any of the older kids to walk over and pick up younger kids, very easy in the cluster I mentioned w/o a need for a non-city kid to start taking public transit for school.

Hopefully OP can work out something to keep kids where they are. To move them for only part of a semester would be very disruptive.
