[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly recommend Ross elementary. Wonderful community of families and lots of expats in DC for work and very welcoming. Tons of families and easy access to downtown, museums, activities, parks. Easy to walk everywhere or take public transit. 
It is a tiny boundary so do check the address carefully. But there are many rental options. 
Enjoy your time here![/quote]

Other than the expense and PK4 challenges, I think Ross is the best place for a family hoping to experience the city for a year. The area is fun, you’re close in, lots to do, and the Ross community is fantastic. Very welcoming but also a lot of families that move often so you probably won’t be the only one in and out in a year. [/quote]

Is the one class dynamic not weird for new families? I’d have thought a school with more classes per grade would mean being new mattered less (since lots of kids will be in classes without their friends/with new-to-them kids. I had friends with a bad experience with the kid joining a private with a single class in a non-matriculation grade; very set social dynamics and didn’t happen to gel with the one other new kid, who was also the opposite gender. I’d worry about that for Ross.[/quote]
