[quote=Anonymous]I live wotp, I am risk averse.  When we bought a house when pregnant, a priority was an acceptable school for our children at least through elementary because we could not afford private and we did not want to have to move in 5 years for a variety of reasons including expense.   That was 10 years ago.  At that time, Deal was considered a marginal middle school by many.

There were many fewer charters and even fewer HRCSs.  I had tutored at Bancroft in the mid 90s at part of a program with my then law firm, I loved the neighborhood but there was no way I was sending my kids there.

I don't think that wotp is the only responsible choice and I think there are many more good choices in this city than there were 10 years ago.  If we were looking for a home in DC today we would have more choices now than we did then.

Most of my peers at work (I am a fed) live in Virginia or Maryland for the schools.  Living anywhere in DC to raise kids attending public school raises a lot of eyebrows, but fewer today than a decade ago.
