[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what part of kensington. There’s Chevy chase view which is very nice but schools aren’t great. There’s The north side of Kensington which is more middle class and has terrible schools then there is the area around holy redeemer where everyone got to that catholic school, then there’s Parkwood which is normal.

Everyone in CCV sends their kids to Holy Redeemer. Plenty of ToK folks and Parkwood area folks send their kids to HR as well.

[b]The pecking order of certain neighborhoods and schools is real. [/b]

But it’s a great place to live if you can afford it. [/quote]

LOL - only in the minds of the people who think they're at the top of it.

I'm happy where we live (in-bounds for OTES), but this kind of crap does get old.  [/quote]

What is funny to me is our income is far higher than friends who live in the town.  We just think it’s absurd to spend a million on a house.  Don’t think for a minute that incomes on the other side of the tracks are less as often they are not.  [/quote]

Yeah, same.  We could afford that much house, but when it buys you so little (other than majority White schools), that's a hard pass.

Also, you can't swing a dead cat in-bounds for OTES without hitting a parent with a PhD.  The idea that DCC families are less invested in their children's education is unfounded.[/quote]

If anything we care more.  [/b]With the money we didn’t spend on a mortgage our kids have very nice college funds.   [/quote]

Why does everything have to be a competition?

My hesitation with Kensington is Connecticut Ave and all the traffic. It's just getting worse. If you can live with that, it's a lovely area no matter which schools you are zoned for.  Everyone is friendly and welcoming.
