[quote=Anonymous]I'm really wondering where OP's kids go to school. what public elementary does a family with a 200k income and a house budget of 1 million not fit in because of being too poor? I can't think of a single school in DC_-including the JKLMs--where a family making 200k is too poor?

I'm also just confused about what OP really wants. Doesn't want to stand out as being the poorest family, yet also can't imagine buying a house for less than 1 million that is acceptable (clearly you have not been to 95 percent of the homes in DC!)--this to me suggests a very narrow range of experience in the district.  Wants schools with diversity (eg, no Mclean) but worries that diversity will mean bad education and poor test scores. Wants a super close in commute, but seems to have decided that decent school options are only in particular suburbs far from "southern DC" (cap hill or anacostia?).

I guess I'd suggest parts of cap hill already mentioned, arlington, parts of alexandria and maybe the woodside neighborhood of silver spring or nearby silver spring neighborhoods. Or perhaps woodley park/adams morgan in the Oyster school district.
