Not yet, but we'd like an urban/walkable but safe area. Does anyone know what the politics and peer pressure are like at these schools? Is there more focus on appearance than here in dc?

Where will your office or your spouse's/partner's office be located? That will help us with suggestions on where to live.

It depends on your definition of appearance.

Is there more bullying based on weight? DD is a healthy weight and doesn't have body image issues, but i still worry

I am sorry. This one is tough. You, probably, wouldn't want to live there and there will be bad traffic at all hours no matter what direction you are coming from. Pretty much all suggestions you got are equally "convenient". I suggest reducing total family commute (the total of all driving time by parents and children).

White kids all look similar, in their homeless clothing (remember, it's mostly hot).

Crossroads has a lot of druggie kids whose parents "work in the industry" and it is weak academically.

There are very few areas in LA that are walkable AND safe.

Pasadena/San Marino/South Pas will be the relatively easier commute to DTLA down the 110. Apply to Flintridge Prep, Mayfield, Poly, and Westridge.

That's true of Crossroads (the drug issues) but EVERYONE in LA works in the industry, (or medicine / cosmetic surgery, or orthodontistry).

OP you need to visit and check out some areas. There is a lot of difference culturally between all the various parts of LA so far listed here. If your DH works downtown you could live in Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood, and get there a lot quicker than if you lived in the Palisades or Santa Monica.

Have you checked out some of the threads on the LA board yet?

Are there some schools with politically active students?
