[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at buying in Petworth with our young family.  This area has now become a highly sought after and fairly expensive area.  Townhomes cost from $700K upwards or maybe a little less if they are renovated.

Given the high incomes needed to now live in Petworth, where are these families sending their kids to elementary school?

Looking at the demographics for Powell or Barnard there seems to be a very high number of poorer kids and few Caucasians.

I was just wondering what other families in Petworth have done.

Is private school the only option for a quality education?

If you're going to spend $820K on a 1931 rowhouse -- which is all there is in Petworth -- why not just go with Glover Park?   I get that this buyer may not have $1.8 million for Spring Valley / Mann, but I don't get this compulsion to 1. pay a lot and 2. be not-super-close to downtown and not really near transit, either and 3. have no solid schools.    See also, Brookland.

Why not eliminate one of the three, with the same exact budget?[/quote]
