[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key will be fine. Definitely not worth lotterying outside of your neighborhood. It's good for kids to go to the neighborhood school for the sense of community (I think, and research says!).[/quote] Why? If this is an important consideration for OP, it's not a difficult preference to satisfy in DC.[/quote] Because the kids don't care. The thing OP mentions -- playdates, birthday parties, etc -- won't be an issue. It will be OP herself who is more aware of being different. Which seems -- to me, at least -- a not big reason to schlep your kids to a different neighborhood.[/quote] Lots of parents shlep their kids to different neighborhoods for reasons the kids don't care about. DC has this whole lottery system, you don't have to go to your neighborhood school, and for once this is something a parent wants that they can just easily get. [/quote]
