[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the time hill kids are in late ES or MS their families are venturing into ward 3 and the burbs a lot.  There is less of a need for ward 3 families to to the reverse.  Ward 6 has built up an infrastructure for young families but has less for older kids.  Schools, sports, the arts, etc. [/quote]

We are bound for DCI and no need to go anywhere.  Lots of clubs, extracurriculars, and sports.  Just pick up after the above or kid can take public transportation home.  Easy, just like the bigger schools in the burbs with similar offerings.[/quote]

How is your kid going to get from DCI to the Hill?  Will your 6th grader walk throught Brightwood, cross Georgia, then take the Redline to Union Station?  I might have sort of planned on this a few years ago, but not right now.

Guys the fact  is - beyond ES is a HUGE toss-up on the Hill.  Other than "be really rich," there's no guaranteed solution.  So you have to really like the neighborhood.  Or face moving right when RE prices are cratering, whee! [/quote]

It's easy to find a carpool, lots of people do it.  Or I drop them off at the 16th Street bus.[/quote]

Do you have a kid at DCI now?  And there's a guaranteed supply of SAHP who can drive up there at 3pm every day?  Do they wait for you downtown on 16th st?[/quote]
