[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is where people who believe housing prices are all about schools fail. We chose to live in Einstein ‘despite our income’ because we love the neighborhood (not diverse) and have also become to love the diverse schools. We’ve learned that the lower average test score of the schools is just that - average score. Our kids are doing just fine academically, scoring in the 99th percentiles along with enough peers to form a group in class (according to their teachers). My guess is that there would be more of those high-scoring kids, less of the low-scoring kids in schools on the west side, but honestly at this point we don’t understand why it matters. Most friends and co-workers that we know who live in the B-CC, Whitman or Churchill area and send their kids to public schools bought their homes for less than we did. At least two families looked at our neighborhood but could not afford the homes that they liked - one is in Chevy Chase now, one in Bethesda (gave up on proximity to the metro and walkability to urban scenes, if you’re wrapping your head around the ‘how’). The few people we know who live in more expensive homes in those areas actually send their kids to private schools, another reason we like our neighborhood - plenty of neighbors who send their kids public and appreciate/support the diverse student demographics rather than scorn down on it.[/quote]
I think a lot of people have these unfounded beliefs about these places with which they have no experience. Einstein is a great school. If anything, it's underrated.[/quote]
Yep. On DCUM, if it's not a top neighborhood, it's scary!  :shock:
