[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live on Capitol Hill and our child goes to Two Rivers. The school is exactly two miles away from our house in SE. While Two Rivers is obviously a city wide school, we've found that nearly all of her friends live in the greater Capitol Hill area so it really feels like a neighborhood school. She plays soccer with classmates through Soccer on the Hill and we always run into school friends at Eastern Market and Yards Park.

I don't know anyone from the neighborhood who goes to Mundo Verdo or Stokes, and I only know of one child who goes to IT and another who goes to Sela. Yu Ying is sort of the exception -- I know a few kids there. So this thread made me curious -- are other charter schools like Two Rivers in that they have a large percentage of students from a specific geographic location? Or is our experience just an anomaly? I would think that many folks would want to go to a school that is relatively close and I'd this is the case, the charter school may actually feel looked a neighborhood school. [/quote]

The NW neighborhoods EOTPWOTR are different.  Capital Hill is almost like a suburb. [/quote]

I live EOTPWOTR. Not sure what you mean. Agree that Hill is less dense than my neighborhood. But not sure how that relates to PP's comment. Can you explain? (Genuinely interested in your perspective.)[/quote]
