You need to get out of your mommy bubble. Most people in DC who buy houses don’t care about the schools. In fact, most people who live in DC don’t have children. [/quote]

Saying you don't care about the schools is like saying you don't care about metro access, crime, or walkable neighborhood amenities, i.e. you don't care about the potential for your house to appreciate. If you own a 3 bedroom townhouse, parents or potential parents of young children are a significant chuck of your potential buyers down the road.[/quote]

The neighborhood schools are not so important if you get into a good charter or can afford private.

We are in NE and easy commute to many of the popular immersion charters.  If you get into one of those, your options are not limited to the neighborhood school. You can live in many neighborhoods with not good schools that is easily commutable to the charter.  Plus you have a good shot at good middle/high school path at DCI.

Tons of UMC families at our charter - lawyers, medical, business, etc…who like being closer to downtown then WOTP.

We can afford privates too if we wanted to go that route and there are many families like us.

There is a good contingent of UMC families EOTP scattered across neighborhoods where neighborhood schools don’t matter.  Many of these families are in the immersion charters.   [/quote]
