[quote=Anonymous]What is the value people think that having a private school that has 50-60 percent of its students coming from out of DC brings to the neighborhood? It's not like Tenleytown isn't sought after real estate that could be better used to generate tax dollars despite efforts here to make it look like escape from NY. I live near a different school and the arms race in the morning to get in to school on time makes it so that we don't leave our house during their car pool and have taken to calling parking enforcement on the students in 60k cars parked in zone parking spaces all day. I feel like an apartment building would do much more for t he City than the private school, Numerous times parents queued back blocks from the school have refused to make space for us to come out of our alley to take our kids to school where we are not allowed by hired off duty police to block streets. Really don't see the "value" to the neighborhood that these schools bring at all[/quote]
