We will be moving to Washington D.C. for 2009-2010 school year. We would prefer to live in a diverse neighborhood with good schools and available sports activities. Our children are 10 and 12 where the younger one will enter 6th grade and older will enter 8th grade. They are involved with various sports such as soccer, basketball, and football but also do very well in school. Our eldest also attended a music oriented magnet school in the Philadelphia School District.

We would like to know what is the best areas to focus on regarding a good school district. We specifically like the Georgetown area (if we can afford it) but would like input on those schools as well. Are there others neighborhoods in Washington D.C. that are safe, diverse, family oriented, walkable, with good schools.

Thank you,

TSS
