[quote=Anonymous]We're one of the families moving away from Ft Hunt area despite the fact that we love it here.  For commuting to DC on GW Parkway, yes despite Oldtown traffic, proximity to the Potomac, the trail, and Oldtown, gorgeous trees, and family-friendly neighborhood are all amazing. MS and HS-not so much.  
We are committed to keeping our kids in public schools, and the clash of two Socioeconomic classes here creates a much less than ideal environment imho.  I hear the calls of racism, but disagree.  We'd love our kids to go to a diverse school: W Springfield for example, one of the pyramids we're looking into, has 54% white, and thriving Black and Hispanic student populations: College readiness for those kids are at par with their white classmates.  At WestPo,  white kids get rated at 10/10, Hispanic kids 1/10, and blacks 5/10.  I do not think this kind of "diversity" is the answer to our problem of racism, in an environment where these groups of kids don't even interact much, let alone learn to appreciate each other.  
Is leaving the answer? Not necessarily. But that's a different conversation to have.
We're in a similar price bracket, looking into Burke, W. Springfield, Eastern parts of Fairfax. [/quote]
