[quote=Anonymous]When I was in high school (granted this was years ago), I saw a prostitute shot in the alley behind my house. On the other side of the alley was Ross. It was still considered to be a sought-after, pretty affluent neighborhood even with the increased crime compared to now. The was some illegal activity involving a gun in front of Ludlow-Taylor on the Hill a few years ago. Apparently it was just a coincidence that it was by a school. If you want to live in a city there's going to be crime. On the other hand DCPS failed to flag and then deal with a grown adult with a massive criminal (felony) record to include 3 1/2 years in fed pen who they put with my child in a 1:1 position. Thank goodness red flags were raised by us and the teacher and we got my kid out of the situation. This was at a VERY highly regarded school in a "good" neighborhood that people routinely buy houses in bounds in order to attend. In other words, it's a city, crime is around, and you can always assume you know who the "bad guys" are. They might be the very ones inside the building who are the worst treat. [/quote]
