[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]here is my (lottery aside) problem with the charter school options:  washington latin seems truly lovely but its really just too far for my particular capitol hill family's particular willingness to commute.  i personally don't really like basis.  i think the best solution is not buses to charter schools - its honors classes at the capitol hill middle schools so the high-achieving students that now exist at pretty much all of the capitol hill area elementary schools start to opt in.

Can gently suggest that your commuting worries might be overblown? We are a Cap Hill family who have commuted
to various Latin campuses for a decade now.  The bus from Eastern Market is an expense and kind of crazy at times, but you will only need a year or two before your kid with be delighted to take the metro with all their friends and feel competent and grown up. It is a gift to give your kids the confidence to navigate their own way to school.

It is a 45-minute commute each way on public transit which gets wearying. But after all the years, no one in our family regrets it. The pain is worth the gain.[/quote]

I wasn’t exclusively talking about middle school, I was talking about elementary school. But I am glad to hear that kids are okay taking the metro. [/quote]
