We consider ourselves fortunate to be a in a good school district, in a school with a lot of diversity. A high percentage of DS1's elementary school qualifies for subsidized lunches, and I believe a majority of the school are non-white. The test scores are below average compared to the rest of the county, but I think that goes hand-and-hand with the socioeconomic classes of the community. I have been quite pleased with the quality of DS1's teachers, and have heard good things about his future teachers.

So, yeah, if you ever move down here to DC, I can recommend a terrific elementary school for your kid. :)
