[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The top private schools attract families from all over DC, MD and VA. Almost every family commutes from outside the school's neighborhood.[/quote] The overwhelming majority of most kids at the top private schools live in NWDC and MoCo. You have a showing from Nova, but I have seen very few from Capitol Hill. I lived on Capitol Hill for many years. I'd never sign up to do the commute to a NW private- you have to drive through downtown traffic. I also found Capitol Hill to be a crappy place to have kids- you have parking issues, tons of petty crime, parks that reek of urine. Between the commute and the perception that it's dangerous, you'll have a hard time scheduling playdates with your private school friends (at least that was my experience). You can get a decent house in Chevy Chase for about the same price. Spend a little more, and you can get a decent house in Chevy Chase, MD and have public schools as an option. [/quote]
