[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread serves as a fine reminder of why we lotteried into Maury, without the stress of wondering how many years we could last at L-T as a high SES, mixed-race, in-boundary family with few kumbaya leanings.  [b]L-T seems to serve a small number of granola crunchie high SES neighbors,[/b] a dwindling group of low SES neighbors, and a profoundly, and weirdly, entitled OOB population.

this sounds intriguing.  Tell me more.   [/quote]

It's a truth universally acknowledged in the L-T District among "old timers" like us (a decade in the neighborhood) that the more hippie/granola/kumbaya you are as a high SES parent, the more likely you are to stick around L-T past K.  Few can stand it - the moral and PC demands are too high.   At Maury, Brent, SWS, Cap Hill Montessori and Tyler Spanish Immersion, seeking a decent elementary school education is enough.  At L-T, you need to turn a blind eye to rampant address cheating and being part of a school community that looks very little like the one on your block in the name of unity.  You're either with the PTA parents or against them and it's a drag.   [/quote]

I am an empty nester who currently lives in NoVa, and am interested in buying in DC.  I would love to flee boring suburbanites, but hardly want to go to a place in DC filled with equally obnoxious if less auto obsessed bourgeois.   Petworth is not well located for my work, and Anacostia is still a bridge too far.  I never thought of the Hill as crunch granola, but if there are really folks like that there, I might try to find something there.
