[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also if you're near Cap City, that's going to be a much better commute for you than ITS.[/quote] Commute to cap city is a nightmare. We are now at a school WOTP and our commute is much more enjoyable. It’s much longer mileage-wise but only a little longer time-wise and actually moves! The traffic along north capitol, missouri or Blair is just terrible. There is no good way to get there unless you can walk. Never done the commute to ITS so can’t compare, but would not recommend capital city in terms of ease of access.[/quote] It really depends where in Ward 4 someone lives. We are in Ward 4 and CapCity is a 2-minute drive for me (and I would never send my kid there, regardless); ITS is one that we considered, but the 25-minute commute each way just wasn't worth it for us. Any of the WOTP schools would be at least a 20-minute drive each way for us. [/quote] Uh, it's a 10 minute drive from CapCity to Inspired? Unclear how you can be 2 minutes from one but 25 from the other.[/quote] Are you sure you know where CapCity is?! I am, at most, a 2 minute drive from CapCity, probably less (I live three blocks away). It's a 16 minute drive right now from CapCity to ITS during DCPS spring break week (traffic is unusually light) and before rush hour. Prior to the lottery deadline, when I was figuring out what schools are reasonable, I used Googlemaps and Waze at least a dozen times on various days during rush hour to see how long it would take us to get to ITS (and many other schools) and it was routinely ~25 min.
