[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to let me scare. DC is changing, and it's changing FAST. We are moving to Petworth, close to Metro, short commute to work downtown=more time with family. I am counting on lottery will work fine. That said, I probably wont aim for the MOST popular public or charter schools. When time for high school nears, we will asses if a public will do. I am of the opinion that it ALSO takes an active parent for your child to get a good education, and NOT just up to the school.[/quote] Parent of an 8th grader here. We were saying this when our kids were babies. Guess what, it didn't happen. OP, longtime district resident here who loves the city. If I had to do it over, I would have bought in the 'burbs. Education at it's best (eg. Deal, Latin, etc...) is still weak compared to Montgomery and Arlington Counties. Do yourself a favor, rent 'til you need school, then if you need to move, you're not locked in.[/quote]
