[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to NW from Capital Hill for more space and better schools when our oldest was in K. There were a bunch of other CH transplants at the open house for his new school.

DS is now in middle school so we’ve been here a while. Like one of the PPs, I don’t like having a yard but other than that, it’s fine. Both our kids are happy, and it took some time but we’ve made some friends and it’s been fine. I don’t know where in NW toy are thinking but we live in AU Park and there are a lot of families with kids of all ages which might making your own friends easier since people are likely to be at the same stage of life. Like your partner, OP, some density was non-negotiable for me (I grew up in a big city and AU Park is the most suburban I’ve ever lived) and I found the area an acceptable compromise. [/quote]

I’m glad that worked out for you. In my opinion if I’m going to move to the suburbs like AU park, I’m going to shoot for the best schools. Deal/JR Wilson is mediocre. [/quote]

You are right, Deal and JR are mediocre but fortunately they worked for my kids. We like AU Park but I may advise families moving now to try MD or VA. Or maybe do private. DCPS is a nightmare and it is sad what we all put up with. [/quote]

Could not agree with you more about the disaster that is DCPS. [/quote]
