[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We really like Maury, near Lincoln Park. Ticks all the boxes you mention and easy commute to Pentagon via 695/395. We also wanted small classes and a tight knit feel and it’s been great. Only downside is the feeder pattern - middle school is fine (people vary on this but the number of people from Maury sending kids there is increasingly significantly each year, so would be even better by the time your kid gets there) but high school is a no for almost everyone.[/quote]

Where do the kids go for HS?[/quote]

Eastern.  It could be a whole different situation by the time OP’s kid gets to 9th grade but right now the zoned MS is finally getting significant buy in but as far as I’m aware very few people are currently seeing Eastern as a viable HS choice.[/quote]

For the people for whom “high school is a no.” Where do their kids go?
[/quote]

DC has a number of application high schools that are open to everyone in the district. Many students go to one of them.[/quote]

And there goes the neighborhood feel OP requested. [/quote]

Not at all. If you stay in the neighborhood school through 9th and live on completely walkable and transit accessible Capitol Hill, you don’t lose the neighborhood feel. For however folks feel about the middle school and up schools on the Hill, few would claim the Hill is not one of the most neighborhoody neighborhoods in DC. My kids go or went to Ludlow-Taylor and it’s very similar. Not quite as highly regarded ES as Maury, but we love it and it is an amazing community; then we have Stuart-Hobson as our feeder MS, which is slightly better regarded than Elliot-Hine (Maury’s); then we have the same no for HS.[/quote]
