[quote=Anonymous]DH got a job at the Pentagon and we'll be moving to the area very soon. DC will be going into 2nd grade in the fall. I've reviewed school ratings on Greatschools, looked at the school websites, and searched DCUM forums for comments. The only info I can't really tease out is the intangible happiness rating. Which elementary schools out there have good academics as well as an atmosphere of kindness and fun? I'm looking for a responsive and encouraging administration, caring teachers, students who practice what we used to call good citizenship, fun field trips and after school activities, and a welcoming PTA. Those schools may not exist (except in my dreams) but which ones come close? I'm not too caught up on test scores or socioeconomic/racial diversity (or lack thereof). I just want my daughter to wake up in the morning wanting to go to school and to learn a lot while she's there.[/quote]
