[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capitol Hill was historically a bit more bohemian, and families in that neighborhood used Capitol Hill Day School, a progressive private.

I have known one or two people that commuted from the Hill to Sidwell etc. Be aware that Sidwell and Maret  get 10 applicants per spot, and Georgetown Day gets something like 6 applicants per spot. This decision may be made for you.[/quote]

^^"Bohemian"?    Please . . . Cap Hill is pretty lefty but more like urban professional and wonky. I've lived here long enough to recognize a sizeable number of conservatives and evangelicals who live on the Hill.

All the "Bohemians" are settling in Brookland these days to tend to urban farms and beekeeping.[/quote]

Really? This makes me want to move to Brookland. I live on the Hill.[/quote]

New poster-- I agree that Brookland is great.  I live on the Hill and it suits me, but I have friends in Brookland and I totally see the appeal!  You should look into it-- house prices are going up, but still lower than the Hill.

I agree with the earlier post that Hill families generally do what is right for them and there is no one school.  On my street a few go to Brent, one family goes to Capitol hill Day School, one goes to a Quaker school in College Park (Friendship?), one goes to Lowell, one goes to Yu Ying Charter, one goes to Washington Latin charter and one homeschools-- and the homeschool is part of a cool program where other Hill families also participate -- classical Conversations?.  And one kid attended Washington international School, but he has recently graduated from high school.  Anyway, this mix of options encourages parents to do what is really best for your family-- you aren't going to stand out as odd or going against the grain!  If you want to live on the Hill and commute to a private school in upper NW, ask the schools you are interested in for info. [/quote]
