[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your question about Great Schools ratings, it is best to look at the raw data (demographics and test scores) but ignore the scores completely. They seem almost random. I think at one point I checked and Tubman had the same score as Janney or one of those other Deal ESs. If I were you I would wait to see what happens with the feeder patterns and boundaries. If they stay the same, and you can afford it, move to Woodley (Oyster) or Mount Pleasant (Bancroft), if you want Deal/Wilson, or else Dupont (Ross), or Adams Morgan (Marie Reed), maybe some others. There are some good elementary schools in urban neighborhoods. [/quote]

Just to add, I have nothing against Petworth and other neighborhoods further north, but I don't see why anyone would propose them as alternatives to Columbia Heights. The neighborhoods I mentioned, Woodley, Mount Pleasant, Dupont, Adams Morgan, all have an urban feel, somewhat like CoHi. To me Petworth feels the same as AU Park, it's just less expensive and more racially diverse. I don't see Petworth as a substitute for an urban neighborhood, unless it's very close to the metro, i.e., basically "north CoHi". Same goes for Brightwood and all those other neighborhoods further north.
