[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contrarian here: I've worked in Baltimore (community engagement/politics) and yes, it has issues, and even more charm than just its tagline. I can see wanting to move to DC instead. When I took a fellow organizer from Baltimore on a tour of DC a few years back, she commented "it's amazing what a solid tax base can do." It's true. DC certainly has its own issues but the city services are a step above Baltimore and I've always had wonderful neighbors across 20 years and four homes here.

Yes, Jackson Reed is "the good high school" but we've been very happy at our neighborhood Ward 4 (top of the District, east of Rock Creek Park) public elementary and middle schools, and I know lots of other people who are too. And some people get those lottery spots at charters.

Please look at myschooldc.org to understand how the lottery works. There will be lots of informal parent-led info sessions over the next few months that you can join to ask more detailed questions--sign up for their newsletter for those updates.

I'd love to talk with you--let me figure out how to do that respects the anonymity of this board[/quote]
