[quote=Anonymous]Class sizes are not too big, the community is close-knit (many families remain on the school ground and surrounding park well after school hours), the kids seem to stay friends through MS and HS. It has a more suburban feel than Murch or the Janney site (AU Park has a more suburban feel, but the school itself is right off Wisconsin Ave), but not like in MoCo - kids and dropped off and picked up at the school, which fosters the community feel. The school will be vastly improved once the renovations are completed. Diversity, which is a big factor for many in choosing DC schools, is more multicultural than, say socioeconomic, but your child(ren) will be surrounded by children of many different backgrounds. Incidentally, I don't think you could go wrong with Janney, Murch, or Mann either (or several other schools in the area - I don't mean to leave anyone out) - they just each have their own character. You asked about Lafayette, though, so I think it makes sense to stick to your question. And, if you are limited in how much time you will have to look around, I think you will do well with CCDC.[/quote]
