[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rule #1 don’t expect anything like NY here.  Once you have realistic expectations, you can enjoy being here.  The DC area is a nice place live in, but don’t expect NY.

[b]Rule #2 don’t live in DC proper unless you’re comfortable with an inner city school environment.  Because you’re paying for private in NY, I suspect you may feel that private is better than DCPS.[/b]

Rule #3 don’t trust people here who seem hell bent on promoting their own neighborhoods and ignoring your commute from those neighborhoods.  Contrary to what posters from MD and VA may believe, the differences between the suburban communities in those states is marginal at best.  It’s kind of like people from northern Jersey fighting with people from L.I. over which suburb is better.[/quote]

Definitely not true--the schools in affluent areas of DC perform just as well as nearby affluent areas of the suburbs.  This thread presents some PARCC scores for Bethesda compared to DCPS.
