[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No question WOTP. Brent is mediocre in every sense of school measures compared to JKLMM. Put aside the isolated cap hill debate, it does not have middle or high school options. I can see people who bought there 10+ years ago that want to make it work but buying now, I woudlbt even consider cap hill. For the same price you can get WOTP and a house with a yard and not have to worry about lottery for "decent" charter (and commute that comes with it) or shelling out $$ for private. Sorry, not trying to slam Cap Hill, but no amount of ice skating parks would persuade me otherwise. FWIW I am ward 4 so not trying to justify just saying what I would do if in OP's shoes. [/quote]

You are right that WOTP is cheaper than the Brent neighborhood now, and you're right that Capitol Hill doesn't have public middle school options yet. However, Brent is a great school. It's not mediocre.

OP, if you had a 4th grader, I would move to NW. With a kindergartener, though, you should move to the neighborhood you like most. That will probably be Capitol Hill. Why be less happy for five or six years when you could love your school and your neighborhood? As PPs have said, Hill families figure it out anyway. [/quote]
