[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson or the cluster schools on the Hill.[/quote]

That's someone who hasn't been in the elementary school game for a while answering...

If you're renting and considering K, then high school (Wilson) does not factor into your decision (you will have moved or bought elsewhere by then). You have the unique opportunity to solely worry about finding the best DC public elementary school for your child. Luckily, elementary schools are generally doing well in this city, none floating to the top as the only best one, and many offer some special methods or models. Charters and out-of-boundary applications can be your back-up should you want options. So you can place your general location ahead of what school to choose, which helps because DC's rental market is difficult. 
I'd say post again when you've decided round about where it is you want to live. And then also make a decision about what your child needs in a school. If Capitol Hill should be your destination, as PP assumes, then check out some of the more vibrant schools in that area (Brent, Maury, Tyler). They each have unique offerings, are small enough to immediately connect with friends and neighbors and house some of the most dynamic teachers.[/quote]
