[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, not only is this thread dominated by CH families but also many which have no empathy for current families, [b]particularly the families on their high horse who bought a while ago posting condescendingly.

Those who are staying and think money is going to solve the problem with a good private school are naive.  There is a very high probability your child will not get in.  Limited spots, highly competitive.  Each year it gets even more so.  You might be moving to the burbs too or driving a very long distance to go to some subpar middle and high school.  You need to have plan B and C.

The families who bought a while ago make a fair point in chiming in to remind us of of the challenges they faced on CH before the neighborhood was half as upscale as it now is. They took risks buying in-boundary for Brent, Maury, Ludlow etc. Worth remembering that their Plan A was to avoid getting mugged or having their homes burgled, and to organize like mad to improve their children's struggling Title 1 elementary schools.

I'm not buying that there's a shortage of seats in DC private schools that run you 35K+ a year.  Over the years, every Hill family we know who wanted a tony private found one willing to enroll their kid, if not a Top 5 school.[/quote]
