[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because you don't really understand how the school system works here. Lots of people don't go to their zoned school. They lottery into charter schools or non-charter schools that accept lottery students. It's not at all unusual. And that's how you end up with high-value houses in low-rated school zones. Also, houses closer to the center of the city are worth more, regardless of their school. Obviously.[/quote] So, they have schools for the rich?[/quote] Every place has schools for the rich. In lower-population-density suburbs, this is accomplished purely through geographic rules about which kids can go to which school, and thus is tightly tied to housing. DC is higher density, so it’s more complicated, and less closely tied to housing. [/quote]
