[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the replies.

As mentioned we are aware of the middle school concerns but for now are renting. Based on my job, it's unclear whether we'll be in DC for more than 2-3 years. Those 2-3 years when our kid is in elementary thus overlap perfectly. We're aware that if we stay it will probably involve lottery and/or moving and/or private school for middle and beyond. But for now, when we don't even know what the long-term will bring, we would rather live in a neighborhood we love that is closer to downtown (also considering some other neighborhoods but the Hill is a top choice based on ability to get a rowhouse rather than an apartment, plus CHAW for my kid). It seems like an area where many people have found great and lasting community and we hope to do the same.

So that said we're open to the different elementary schools in the area and just looking to find the best fit. Appreciate all of those who are sharing their experiences.[/quote]

you’ll regret this if you end up staying through MS. I’d rent some place zoned for Deal or Hardy, or in Bethesda. Especially because your family seems to be transient, you should be making choices that maximize possible continuity. The only thing Maury/Brent have to offer that might tip the balance is greater rental housing stock for SFH compared to NW/Bethesda.[/quote]

(Also CHAW is not some special place you won’t find elsewhere. NW/Bethesda generally have easier access to extracurriculars and camps of all types. [/quote]
