[quote=Anonymous]Echo what everyone else is saying about schools and revolving door/attrition among the stroller set. This is so common in the gentrifying/gentrified rowhouse neighborhoods (Petworth, Brookland, Cap Hill; though the latter has a bit better retention). Tons of mid 30s to mid 40s parents with young kids here in Petworth. Seems like there’s a wave of moves come Kindergarten and another wave as middle school approaches. Seems like there are few UMC families who stay into MS and beyond, and those who do go to charters or private. I really don’t see this changing any time soon. I know each cohort of young parents thinks their “generation” will be different, but it seems conditions would have to majorly change for them to act differently than previous cohorts This has a huge impact on our sense of community here in DC. Makes it difficult to age in place as we go through the life stages. It really is a shame.[/quote]
