What are the differences between the JLKMs?

Eaton has been a big OOB school for so long, that some EOTP neighborhoods traditionally look on Eaton as their school, too. Politically, that’s a tough thing for DCPS to take on. Stuffing more kids into Eaton (and expanding Eaton in the renovation somehow despite the tight site constraints) is an easier bureaucratic course than throttling OOB slots back significantlly.

Dream on. Sorry that you can't afford to buy in AU Park. But you can pretend.

Ugh. I own a house in AU Park and I seriously hope I never meet you.

Actually I like the AU Park neighborhood except for the housing stock. I find the houses to be boxy and unattractive which is why we haven't moved up there. We were lucky enough to lottery into an upper NW school but have stayed put in Logan Circle.

We got lost there somewhere in AU Park one time, and some home were really ugly. They were small red brick houses in need of repair. They were square boxes with crumbling brick. Maybe it was just couple of blocks, but haven't seen anything so small and ugly in nearby neighborhoods. The yards were also in need of TLC.

Although my house isn't one of the boxy ones, I'd take one of those over that commute and not living near school friends any day, but everyone has different priorities.

So do we, and we work in VA.

Sounds like you haven't seen much of the neighborhood.

I actually like the fact that many of the houses are modest. Few can be described as in disrepair today, and most people take care of their yards. There are a few blocks near Wisconsin that have a lot of rentals, which is what you may have seen. Most of the neighborhood is not like that.

But clearly nobody moves to AU Park for the housing stock. They move here because it's a friendly, safe, green, down to earth neighborhood with a great elementary school, metro access, and walkable amenities.

Our child went to Janney and now is at GDS. Honestly, some aspects of the Janney experience are almost on par with GDS. That is saying A LOT. I credit Janney’s foundation for his amazing experience and success at GDS.
