[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old Town Alexandria has it all. Jefferson-Houston or Lyles-Crouch are both good elementary schools - Jefferson-Houston is much smaller and Lyles-Crouch is much whiter.[/quote]

What?!?!?!?!?!? [/quote]

The OP stated the she would prefer public schools but did not rule out private. So if she doesn't want to mix with poor kids, I would still recommend Old Town and go private. It really is one of the best neighborhoods in the area and hits all the marks on OP's list.[/quote]

I agree with you. I live in Old Town.  But let's be real - J-H is not a good ES.  I am house shopping for this very reason![/quote]

Ok, let's be real. J-H kids are overwhelmingly poor and black. That's why you (and your neighbors) won't send your kids there. That's what you mean by "bad" school. Or do you really think the teachers and staff are sub-par? Maybe they're not dedicated enough (even though they work longer days, Saturdays, and summer days to help the kids)?

But to get back to the OP, Old Town is a wonderful neighborhood.[/quote]
