[quote=Anonymous]I apologize for posting in this forum as well as the off-topic forum.

As I noted in my post in the off-topic forum, my wife and I have begun to look seriously at moving to Chevy Chase DC.  We really like Lafayette Elementary and the surrounding playground and tennis courts.

Today, however, in reviewing US Census data mapped on the NYTimes website, I noticed that in Chevy Chase (East of Conn Avenue) over 80% of elementary school kids attend private school. I have nothing against private school, but one of the reasons we focused on CC DC was our hope that our 1 year old son could grow up with the same gang of kids - at least through elementary school.

Short question long . . . Is CC DC a close-knit neighborhood for young families and their kids? Or do children and their parents drift away as kids move on to different schools? Any other thoughts on this neighborhood and if the 80 % number is accurate would be much-appreciated.

Thanks!
