[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ps DC is a GREAT place to raise young children.  You will enjoy it.

Capitol Hill is filled with kids and parents and many other neighborhoods are great too.

Prioritize short commute (really. It’s so important.) and schools.[/quote]

DC is a great place to raise young children if you have enough money to live in a safe neighborhood with good schools.

I mean, Cap Hill is a fine place for couples with newborns. I have never heard of DC families with grade school children MOVING INTO cap hill. Families typically leave. Everyone knows it. [/quote]

This is not true anymore. Yes some leave but most are staying and making it work.[/quote]

Private.  [/quote]

We live on the hill and LOVE it. Have been here since before our 2 started school...oldest is now in 5th and we are fine at our charter through 8th. BUT there is one IB-right middle school that is acceptable and no acceptable by feeder-right high schools here, so you are left with test-in public, charter, or private after 8th, and sometimes after 4th. We are unsure what we will do but are hoping to be able to stay put. The other good option is NW in a Deal/Wilson feeder. The schools are strong but its more expensive and the feel is more suburban.[/quote]

Of course Latin and BASIS have historically served as Cap Hill middle schools.... There are more would be Brent 5th graders at BASIS this year than at Brent. [/quote]
