[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard is it to get financial aid at Cap Hill Day School? Anyone think we have a good shot at 50% tuition with a HHI of $145 K?

If we don’t get Brent or FA at CHDS we will likely move to a 2 bedroom condo WOTP so we can send our son to J/L/Mu/Hearst with feeder rights to Deal/Wilson. We love the Hill but don’t have confidence in the schools. [/quote]

OP, I don't think you'll be happy with any of the Hill schools that take OOB kids for PK. Just put down Peabody (you'll move on from there in a few years--I don't see you liking Watkins), SWS, and CHM@L and if you don't get in, move.

For other people reading this thread, some of the Appletrees are decent commutes from Capitol Hill. Eagle Academy Capitol Riverfront is a good option (that campus is closing soon so it will be a short-term option, or you'll have a longer commute after a year or two). Amidon-Bowen in Southwest seems good for PK3 and has some very involved parents--few of the high-income parents, though slowly more, are staying through K and beyond but that doesn't matter to the folks like OP who will leave after PK. Depending on commute and where exactly on the Hill, maybe Savoy (right near the Anacostia metro), Walker-Jones (close to downtown), or Nalle (by Benning Road; they have a montessori program)[/quote]

I would pick langley over Walker-Jones.

Try for the new Stokes EOTR.[/quote]
