[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree! People are SO judgemental not just in here but even in real life. I come across this NOW when I tell collegues/friends that I am moving from safe and quiet Loudoun County to Petworth and I will put my 2 chilren in public school there. I am happy about my decision.[/quote]

If you have kids you only live in petworth if you are going to  do private. You are saving money on the location so private is the safest bet for your kids education. [/quote]
I know a large number of parents who live in Petworth, love their kids, and send them to public or charter schools.[/quote]

This is a first time experiment that I am not willing to roll the dice for my kids. I will work an extra job to be sure my kids go to private or live in a better school distrit.[/b]

Me neither.  I would never consider the DCPS schools in my neighborhood.  I did consider renting an apartment inbounds for either Oyster or Murch.  Fortunately, we got in to one of the language immersion charter schools, and that made it all unnecessary.  There are a number of really good charter options, and everyone seems to get lucky somehow.[/quote]
