| OP I'm totally with you. MyschoolDC needs a table you can sort in descending order by "percentage white, non-Hispanic" to find that information you really wanna know. |

| LOL - here's the thing, you guys should all head directly to the "you are all horrible thread". Also, what does "Hyde is terrible for the younger grades" mean? It's elementary school. Is there some new troll distinction between PK/K/1/2 and 3/4/5? You guys are always finding new ways to whine and cut up the issues to provide self-value. Way to go dcum! |

OP here. I simply forgot to include SWS. If that's the only omission with this list, I'd like to think that I did a pretty good job! |

| Shepherd is 6-10 points away from some of your tier 1s with triple the low income students. They also raise more at PTA than some others. Something tells me you have other criteria you're using. Why would you add Van Ness and Peabody with no PARCC scores? Also, Capitol Hill Montessori should not be on tier 2 (unless you are just listing any school with decent white kids as a tier two). Lastly, Oyster is definitely tier 1 as well. Other that those, I'd say you're pretty accurate. |

Ah, next you are going to say that water is wet. Why not just google: "DCPS elementary greatschools".
Find the 8-10, all good in no particular order. Now find a good house, keep the commute short and with some school ignore the PTA-Pain in The Ass parents. If you still wondering which school, OP listed it as nr. 1. |

Re: Hyde Unfriendly parents for the most part, gossiping lazy teachers, temporary building, and at the preschool level kids will learn to socialize only (if that's all you want, then it's fine). |

Yea, OK. But ten minutes on the DCPS schools profiles pages would tell you all this. |

| Ha! This thread makes me glad we're in private school. |

Not as glad as your IB neighbors are. Now GTFO. |

Sorry to disappoint you, but my neighbors wish my family (and others like mine) would attend the IB. |

I know you mean well OP but that info isn't hard to find. Eveyrone knows this. What you left off that is actually more helpful is that homes in most of these in bound areas are going to cost you a million. And if you buy on Cap HIll you still have shitty middle school and high school feeders. And if you try to lottery in, well you arent getting a spot for the top tier. |

I want one of our data visualization experts to give me a map of home valuation over greatschools rating, or something to similar effect. Other similar analyses might be useful as well.
Do I get best home value out of buying in Tenleytown in terms of education-to-price "yield?" Or inbound for Shepherd? Or maybe Deanwood is so low-cost that you might bring other factors into play, etc. |

| NP here - why are you guys so nasty with OP? Everyone has their own criteria. I wanted my kid to go to H. Mann for example. So, we moved. A family in the same building (zoned to H. Mann) told me they did not like H. Mann, since it does not have enough diversity. So they moved their kid to another school. Too bad, since Mann is a great school I am being told. So, this family has their own criteria too. |
