[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specifically do you want to know? Based on interactions with kids who go there in our local playground, we did not apply.[/quote]

We would like to buy a home, and while we don't have kids yet , we'd like to live near a good elementary school.  We feel like a lot of the good upper northwest schools'[b] location is too suburban for us at this point.[/b]   We would like a row house or single family home that is walking distance to retail.  I saw Tubman had good ratings on good schools.com, and we like Columbia heights, so I wanted to get more info on Tubman.  Suggestions of other areas are welcome.  [/quote]

You can have an "urban/cool" neighborhood in DC, OR a decent zoned elementary school, but not both. Pick what is more important to you.

I think you can do it on the hill if you buy IB for Brent or Maury.  Middle school does not have good options yet but OP has time on her side there and there is a good chance for better options to develop over the next 12 years.  I say this as a parent living in AU Park, I love our school and there is much retail to walk to but it is not urban.[/quote]
