[quote=Anonymous]It's great. I moved away from DC to be closer to family, but if family stuff had not come up, we were planning to stick it out until our oldest was through elementary school or so then re-evaluate. You should probably be thinking about schools with a 1yo. Unless you're committed to private schools for some reasons. Bruce-Monroe gets somewhat mixed reviews but I suspect their preK program is fine (or even great - we weren't zoned for BM). Powell seemed stronger, and Petworth is convenient to a number of great charter schools if you luck out in the lottery. More on the Columbia Heights side, people LOVE Tubman, at least for the younger grades. All in all, I suspect you would be well set for 5 years or so at least. Maybe longer, depending on the lottery and which school you were zoned into. Everyone agrees DC public schools get dicey by middle school, but there are a lot of efforts underway to improve things.
