"Fast and convenient; walking distance to metro. Circulator and other bus routes also available and within walking distance. Unfortunately, errands do require a car. "

"The people are nice. It's somewhat quiet around there. You are right on the bus line. There's plenty of places to eat at and you also have places to go shopping. There's the local Safeway along with stores to shop for clothes."

"The commute is good whether walking or on the bus. Bus rides are excellent because the buses ride every 15 minutes. Driving is also good because most of the time there isn't that much traffic."

"I've lived in the area for about a year. Crimes relatively low, the homeless are trespassing and loitering often. Traffic is horrible. All these things make this neighborhood unique"

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCedar Tree is a student and family centered school. Almost to a fault they put the wants and needs of the parents before all else. My child loves this school so much that I withdrew him from a publicly ranked school to place him here. He’s excited about learning and I, as a helicopter mom, am excited about watching him grow and develop here. Would recommend this school over any of the elites in upper north west.Parent Review1y ago5 Reviews - Moten Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is just basic. The principal in this school needs to get on her job. Last year, 2015-16 school year, was my daughter first time attending this school. My thoughts were that once she got accepted they were going to give you an open house where you could meet the teacher and learn more about the school and know which day was the first day. Nope, I was all wrong! I had to hound them down and call the cooperate office just to get a call back. Once I got a call back they told me that there was no open house and if I wanted to I could come and meet the teacher. I ended up going and really liked her teacher. During the school year I realized that when a teacher was out for a day they did not replace the lost teacher so it was just one teacher in the classroom with twenty five 4 year olds. Shame on the principle!!!!Also, trying to talk to the principle was like trying to meet with the president of USA. The receptionist would always say she's busy or she's in a meeting. How many meetings could you possibly have? She just seem like she didn't want to be bothered. I felt like the administrative staff judged and grouped us in a stereotypical category, like we were all ghetto and was just complaining. Now fast forward to this school year, 2016-17, one and a half week from the start of the school year still no call about an open house or a meeting with the teacher. They are too unorganized and lazy for me.Parent Review9y ago3 Reviews - DC Prep - Anacostia Elementary Campus
