[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're relocating from out of state and looking at a neighborhood that is zoned for Lyles Crouch. I will call the school to learn more about their teaching philosophy etc. but I'd love to hear about experiences from current families who attend. Also, we're Jewish, will will be the only Jewish family in the school (I assume it's not a super Jewish area but I'd love if we're not the only ones)? [/quote]

Lyles Crouch hands down. Uses the "traditional" or classical approach to education and it makes a difference. Second choices might be George Mason Elementary or Charles Barrett.

You are right not a big Jewish population in Alexandria but there is are a couple of temples that I can think of and one has a popular preschool. We knew lots of kids who attended - mostly non-Jewish but there were also a few who were. [/quote]

We chose private but if we lived in Old Town and were zoned for Lyles Crouch I would have sent my daughter there instead of paying for private school (we live in Del Ray and are zoned for a different elementary). I think Lyles Crouch is considered the best elementary in ACPS, and would say Charles Barrett seems to be the next most popular among UMC Alexandria residents.  Also, Old Town is charming and very walkable.  I have two friends whose kids went there (one more recently, and the other about 6 years ago) and both were very positive about the experience.
