[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the useful comments. If you read my original question, I am picking according to 1. strength of school and 2. proximity to downtown DC/ work. If I look at these two, the Whitman and BCC clusters are the best bet. I am not wealthy in DC-terms if you are only looking at only $$$$ income, but I am an educated international professional with smart kids, so obviously I am looking for like-minded kids/ parents, so we can feel like a good fit. So, I am not looking for wealth, but fit. As a single Mom, I NEED the schools to be strong and I WANT the kids who attend these schools to be similarly smart and ambitious. Not because I am snotty or snobby as someone suggested, but because those are my values and those are the values I want to install into my kids. I am tending towards the Pyle/Whitman cluster, I like the 20816 zip code; lots of green space, quiet, nice neighborhood; easy commute to downtown. [/quote]

So, what you think other schools don’t have smart kids whose parents valve academics?   Go to Whitman.  Lots of folks think like you and better for the rest of us not to have our kids exposed to people like you.  [/quote]

OP here - did you even read my post? Or read it carefully?  I stated that 1. school has to be strong. 2. Has to be relatively close to DC/ downtown (but in MD). Pls suggest alternatives then, since it seems you are not satisfied with my potential choices. [/quote]

Whitman is not close to downtown so your post makes no sense.  BCC or the down county schools make far more sense for commute.   Strong school is subjective.   You are really looking for rich schools.  [/quote]

OP here - PP, what is "down county" schools? 
We used to live 10 minutes from where we would live if my kids go to Whitman. Kids would take school bus to Whitman. So, yes, it would be an easy commute for me to the office; only 10 minutes more than when we lived in NW DC. We have always lived in NW DC and 20816 and 20815 are the neighborhoods we are familiar with. That's why I am looking at those two school zones.

PP, you are a typical DCUM poster who thinks you know the other persons' life and what their motivations are and you just make assumptions. You are judgmental and sound toxic. No, I am not looking for rich schools, since I myself am not rich, so I am actually not an ideal fit for Whitman in that respect. I am looking for strong schools, not far from downtown, in neighborhoods we are familiar with. Does that better clarify for you? [/quote]
