I really miss living on the Hill but the closest elementary school was some school in Northeast that I visited when the show I was working on did a tour stop there. I was HORRIFIED and although childless at the time told my wife that my kids will not go to public school in the District - ever.
Plus a lot of my baseball practices were held at Eastern High School and some during school hours. No thanks...
Ellington and Banneker are pretty special schools.
