In DC, it has been a major problem. We do have a number of good charter schools but they are assigned by lottery. If you don’t get in at age 4 or 5, you probably won’t get in. There are few openings later and those go to siblings first. There are private schools and some have done that. But others have moved or not moved in. Our neighborhood primary school is improving steadily but it will take awhile before our parents would be interested. And it’s improving from the early grades up so if you have a 10 year old, it isn’t good. The high school and middle school are not good. Disrupting a school year is not something kids will want to do, so I would think about households with young children and the almost born in terms of school. But it is an issue. Talk to the school district also — they may have plans that will change school configurations. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
