[quote=Anonymous]I would look at Bloomingdale, Eckington, and Edgewood. That way you'll have a nice in-boundary school where you're likely to get a spot even if you get the address a little later. It's a delightful neighborhood for small kids-- many parks and a pool, tons of families. As for charters, try to understand that DCPS was once one of the lowest-performing school districts in the country, far worse than Boston ever was, and that charters are part of how it recovers. Many people are living in the city and attending sort-of-okay DCPS schools because they know they have the option of charters for middle and high school. Otherwise they'd just move to the burbs. If you think it through and decide to stick with non-charters for philosophical reasons, great, but the standard critique of that is that you're exercising "school choice by real estate".[/quote]
