[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check the crime stats. I would for my $ go West of the 16th St, and be careful even there. Look up Alan Henney on Twitter.

I would avoid Brookland incl b/c the traffic but honestly the crime and the noise have been bad in the areas you mention.[/quote]

How can you live like this?[/quote]

Living great and not even WOTP. Why would I purposefully put myself in a place where I’d be at a risk of violence, crime, traffic jams, and no schools? 
It seems irrational to ignore these things? [/quote]

you think there are no schools in/near Union Market? [/quote]

Pray tell. Which ones and up to what grade? And how good?[/quote]

Two Rivers 4th St is basically in Union Market. Others close by that I'd consider sending a kid to include JO Wilson, Stuart Hobson, Capitol Hill Montessori, Ludlow Taylor, Mundo Verde P Street, School Within School, Langley, and Friendship Armstrong. Inspired Teaching isn't that much further away. How good? Fewer kids on grade level than west of the park, better than DCPS on average, fine for most kids of DCUM posters. If you think everyone should live IB for Deal that's cool, but it's not very practical. [/quote]

K-5 lots of choice everywhere but what then?
Anyway? Not for me.[/quote]

Stuart Hobson is a MS. Inspired Teaching goes to 8th, as does Two Rivers (though I personally would not do Two Rivers for middle). BASIS and Latin are both popular among parents in this neighborhood, and BASIS is a pretty easy commute. The new Latin campus isn't far as well, and there are metro/bus options for both which make sense for a MS/HS student. HS kids can also apply to Walls and Banneker.

The truth is that outside of feeding into Deal or Hardy, this is among the best possible situations for MS/HS in the city. Sadly! It's not a great situation. But that's true for 90% of the city, and at least this neighborhood has good options for elementary that include DCPS and charters, a decent DCPS MS and proximity to multiple good charter MS. And then, like most of the city, they will need to either hope they get a lottery spot at one of the few acceptable charter high schools, or get into one of the applications high schools, or move. This is reality for almost everyone in DC, including many very family friendly neighborhoods like Brookland, Takoma, Capitol Hill, etc.[/quote]
