[quote=Anonymous]The Shaw neighborhood used to be known as Hell's Bottom. It was the place you could go to satisfy any type of vice. Well that actually included most of Logan Circle. It's still a bit stabby. I would not send my kid to Cardozo but that's just me.  5 -10 years ago Bloomingdale was not the trendy up and coming neighborhood you see now. Despite its walkability and beautiful architecture it was too crime ridden. A place to be driven through quickly with lots of prostitution and gunfire at night. Kind of the corner of N. Capitol and Florida writ large. Now there are night spots, pizza joints, charter schools and the population is unrecognizable.
Your kid is in daycare and if you are happy with Seaton you will not have to reassess for about 7 years. Enjoy and don't fail to visit nearby schools in person that you might be thinking about. We were pleasantly surprised by our nearby school in Petworth and it made the first 5 years of school very convenient. Now we schlep across town to a WOTP school where the teachers are about as good but we aren't losing peers to charter schools every year and nobody is screaming the N word in the parking lot at pickup [/quote]
