[quote=Anonymous]Capitol Hill Mom here: you also need to contact Capitol Hill based groups online. For example:
* Mothers on the Hill (although it is an invitation only list serv, the moderator might give you some leads
*The Hill is Home, a website that gives information about the Capitol Hill community
*CapitolCommunityNews.com, which publishes several local monthlies and websites like "The Hill Rag" and "East of the River"

Also, many moms like myself have switched our kids from one school to another based on different needs for different ages, from DCPS to charter, from public to private to homeschool and back again based on individual needs. This happens both east and west of the Potomac River.

Once you come to DC, you'll find a dozen different mothers' groups in each neighborhood now, all with moms just waiting for someone to hear their (and their kids' experiences with different schools.
 
Words like "rich" and "affluent" vary widely by poster. When you arrive, go to the neighborhood library and attend a story time, talk to a few moms and find a few congenial moms who can recommend the neighborhood mom's group and online group. The best way to find the right fit (unfortunately) is to visit in person, observe the facilities and classes and sort out fact from fiction.

My younger child attends a local DCPS elementary while an older sibling goes to a charter middle school. That happens often in D.C. Generally, you'll find many schools are better than DCUM/urban legend portrays them.

Good luck and welcome!
