[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP and wanted to add some more detail on our wish list. Our top priorities are strong academics and a short, manageable commute, since we don't want to be either spending lots of time commuting to work or having our son be on a bus for a big portion of each day. We like the feel of a community school, and would like families to live within the area around the school generally. A nice facility and playground are also really great to have. We likely don’t need extensive after-school programming, as we’ll have a nanny to help with pickup.
We’re very happy with our current public school in NYC and are hoping to find something comparable. Our current school is in a safe neighborhood, has nice facilities, strong academic outcomes (around 88% proficiency in reading and math), and lots of extras like dance and specialized gardening and language classes. The student body is roughly 60% white and 10% are on free/reduced lunch; I’m sharing that only to give context for the environment we’re coming from, not as a target necessarily. We are comfortable and happy with diverse environments. [/quote]

I'd say L-T is your best bet but Maury, Payne, and Watkins would all work for you too.

It's not worth bussing to Columbia Heights for Brent.[/quote]
