[quote=Anonymous]I definitely share your concerns about junk food and screen time, OP, but what you're asking for is almost impossible to find in DC--at least in my experience. We moved from DC to way out in the suburbs and our kids attend a small Christian school with a very strict no-screen policy (at least for elementary, I think they allow some form of laptop use in high school) and no cafeteria at all, so I pack my kids' lunches. Screentime and food weren't our reasons for leaving DCPS but I definitely see our current school's policies as a plus. That said, we completely gave up walkability and the city lifestyle. I think it was worth it, but it's a big tradeoff and not for everyone. I think you can likely find a good walkable school in DC and just avoid the food issue by packing lunches. Otherwise, I think you're looking at very niche, high end private schools or small religious schools that are unlikely to be within a walkable DC neighborhood. [/quote]
