JO Wilson vs. Ludlow-Taylor

[Anonymous]

Would love to hear recent perspectives on the two schools. Moving to the area with a kindergarten child next year.

Not even close. LT.

The male prostitutes at LT at least clean up after themselves. Given the increase in home prices in the LT catchment you might want to also look at Brent.

Yep, LT by a mile. JO might be where LT is in 8-10 years. (I used to think 3-4, but it ain't happening.)

This is the OP - thanks for the suggestions. I will look into Brent as well. Are rental costs similar in the neighborhoods servicing Brent as that servicing LT? Is Brent considerably better than LT and if so/not what factors differentiate Brent from LT?

Lordy, lordy, lordy. Here we go again with the people who used to live on the Hill or who live in Eastern Market chiming in on matters about which they do not know. The real estate around JO is in the same zip code as LT (20002) so there is no way to do a quick search and determine real estate cost. But for anyone who looks at these things the "south of H" logic was BS several years ago. And since JO is closer to the impending Whole Foods, Union Market and the Edens project, and since it is closer to the metro (a fact that drives real estate values across the city) it turns out the cost per square foot is actually higher near JO. But don't let facts get in the way of your BS 10 year old impressions.

And to the OP, without a doubt LT is ahead of JO. Probably by 3-4 years. But the key is that LT is fundamentally different in about 3rd grade and JO in PK3 or PK4, so it all depends on where your kid is or will be. Oh, and they both feed into the same MS; the only MS besides Deal that has any promise. Unfortunately Brent has no MS options (many kids go to charters in 4th or 5th).

This is the OP - Yes - the middle school option is an important consideration. We would be starting in Kindergarten.

Hardy has just as much promise as your CH ms, if not more.

JO looks fabulous and has a librarian who moved over from Maury whose very helpful. Great future!

If in doubt, go to an Open House, even if you're not looking for this year, just to see how you feel about both of them.

?? You can search on Redfin by elementary school boundaries, so it's easy to do a quick search and determine real estate cost.

Why do you say it ain't happening in 3-4 years?

How many people in LT will continue on to 5th grade and not bail to charters?

That question can be asked of every single non Deal feeder elementary.
