[quote=Anonymous]These 'best Hill school' pissing contests just tired threads that bubble up constantly on DCUM.

to the OP -- you're right to consider longer range planning if you'd like to settle into a neighborhood and not be bothered with planning your next move.  The Hill is a great community for families and there are good school options (even if some DCUM trolls will be quick to jump in and s@%& on them).  Not all perfect and it gets harder beyond elementary, but things are changing on this front.  It's hard to project that far but just know one thing -- most families will act entirely out of self interest and not out of some broader concern for community good.  If that means pulling up stakes for private, charters, or the burbs then so be it.  My experience is that few families will be committed to a broader goal of enhancing neighborhood schools if they thinks there's a better option available (unless they are deeply committed to neighborhood schools).  You need to be comfortable with your own decisions and not count on others to fall in line with your expectations.[/quote]
