[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=sophie123]Really helpful. Am making a list of all suggestions ahead of a visit this month. Any others? Most grateful.[/quote]

I think you need to keep in mind the commute. It can be brutal around here. Clearly the closer to downtown, the shorter the commute. Make sure you and your partner try it out from various points when you come to visit.

How long will you be here? In the city I would suggest looking at the neighborhoods that feed to:

Janney (AU Park)
Key (Palisades) 
Lafayette (Chevy Chase DC)
Murch (Chevy Chase/North Cleveland Park)
Horace Mann (Spring Valley, Wesley Heights)

These are often referred to as JKLMM schools.

In Bethesda I would look at the neighborhoods that feed to:
Wood Acres 
Westbrook 
Bannockburn
Bethesda Elemenatry
Somerset
Bradley Hills Elementary
Chevy Chase Elementary/Rosemary Hills[/quote]

I'd add Eaton, Hearst, Stoddard, Hyde & Oyster to the list of DC schools to look into.

If you won't be living in DC long enough for your oldest to attend middle school here , Ross & Brent are also worth looking into. Both are great schools but don't feed into very strong middle & high schools.[/quote]
