[quote=AWL]We're moving to DC from overseas and our oldest will start kindergarten in the fall. We also have a 2 year old and one on the way.

We're looking at rentals in Murch and Eaton districts (there aren't many!) and I wondered if anyone had thoughts on those schools and neighborhoods. We can't visit ahead of time unfortunately -- too far away.

My biggest concern about Eaton is that it's in a transitional space until the new facility is built. How is that for the kids? And other general thoughts about the quality of the school?

My concern with Murch is that it's big - do kids get the attention they need and can it be overwhelming for the smaller ones?

Then on neighborhoods, Cleveland Park seems like it might have more commercial activity and is slightly easier for commuting downtown, but Forest Hills seems like it has a few interesting spots and a nice community vibe overall (although I'm a little worried about moving somewhere too suburban..) Do people have strong opinions about either place?

Thanks so much for your thoughts!![/quote]
