[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have Georgetown or Burleith/Glover Park money I’d move there and send kids to Stoddert or Hyde-Addison. Most convenient WOTP area with good schools to get to Pentagon (driving or take the bus to Rosslyn metro). You’d have a ton of stuff to do, fairly safe for kiddos, good public middle and high school options.

Those are nice schools and good commute for the Pentagon parent, but I wouldn't say they have a particularly neighborhood feel. Stoddert has a lot of embassy families who come and go (which is interesting, but not a way to make long-term friends who live nearby) and Hyde-Addison has one of the lower rates of inbound students for west of the park schools (again, a good way to meet an interesting group of people from around the city, including many from JBAB, but not a neighborhood feel). HA is 36% IB while Janney is 90%. You can compare this at https://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/[/quote]

Agree with this. H-A is a great school, but by far the least community-oriented of the WOTP schools. Even the crappy CH schools have higher IB percentages. Stoddert is heavily IB, but very high percentage temporary student body.

Janney and Lafayette are both so big that I don’t think they give the community feel. UNW: Eaton, maybe? Bancroft (but immersion is a specific choice)? Murch? Mann? Ross? CH: Ludlow-Taylor? Maury? Normally Brent, but not this year/next.

Those would probably be my top choices.[/quote]
