[quote=Anonymous][quote]NW still has a big head start on Capitol Hill in developing neighborhood middle schools acceptable to a critical mass of middle-class families.[/quote] This sounds reasonable until you unpack it, at which point it falls apart. There is no such thing as "NW" as an entity. There are decent elementary schools (I.E. JKLM) in NW, and NW has a good middle school (i.e. Deal). But there are parts of NW that have no local elementary school option. Most parents on Capitol Hill now have an in-boundary E.S. option to send their kids to. We have friends in places like Columbia Heights, Petworth, etc, etc... who had to move from NW to Capitol Hill for the schools. Capitol Hill is a neighborhood. One that is becoming more and more homogenously middle-class/weatlhy. "Northwest" is not. [/quote]
