[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  So I have learned alot from this discussion and appreciate everyone's input.

So my final word.  Can we maybe have a meet up at a local bar- maybe Chez Billy or Petworth Citizen- and get a group of young parents together who are inbound to say Barnard or Powell.  And make a pact to support those schools and later send our kids there?  Can we be the interested higher SES parents that transform a school?

DH is actively looking at houses in Bethesda- but I want to stay in the city![/quote]

I'm not in Petworth, but i'd nonetheless advise you to not approach it this way. This site has a pretty homogenous pool of readers, and it would come off as offensive if you'd already grouped up before even starting school. I'd suggest waiting until PK starts and then reaching out through the school or class email listserv. You'll probably only get responses from the same group of people who would respond on this site, but it's not nearly as divisive. [/quote]
