I'm with Lulu.

I only travel 10 mins to work and we live in the country so I wouldn't ask my child to travel longer than that to school. For me, school is important but lots of other stuff is just as important in childhood and having time in the morning to get ready without getting up really early and also to play or relax before dinner in the afternoons is vital imo. Also, when Jazz gets a bit older she might want to do after school activities so you'll be torn as to whether she does them out of your area or travels back home first and then does later classes/sports etc.

When I was going into high school my parents considered a selective private school that was WAY out of our area. There were a few reasons they chose not to send me there but a big part of it was the travel time there and back. I am so grateful to them. I know high school is different in lots of ways but in terms of the impact of travelling, I think it would be easier for a teen than a primary school child. Just my humble opinion.
