Unless your in-boundary homes and families are like that, you won't get a flip like that.

People who are rich don't live in the hill

Any person who makes over $118,500 in gross wages a year is in the top 5% of wage earners in this country. They are well off by any measure if they are purchasing a home on the Hill.

You may not need FARMS data, but it helps to have demographic data.

Why?

You do need the FARMS data to know if the in bounds families are sending their kids to the schools. There are ungentrified or partially gentrified "Hill" schools (JO Wilson, Watkins, Tyler, Payne, Miner) where this same phenomenon applies, but the Brent/Maury effect hasn't totally taken off yet. For instance, my understanding is that 15-18 upper middle class SES families all sent their PK3ers to Miner this year; that could have an enormous affect on the school.

The key is whether those families stay past PK. Free PK is great, but it will they stick around for K and beyond?

Completely agree. But whether they actually started in another important piece of info. I would like to see the date to confirm neighborhood rumor. There is a big difference between 75% FARMS and 99% FARMS in terms of my willingness to give it a chance.

No, "doing pretty well" is not synonymous with "rich." Dual earner professionals live on the Hill and need to use public school. The rich live someplace else and don't care about the data trends at Payne and Miner.

Also, your facts are way, way off -- the top 5% is now $278,000 for the entire metro area, all the way out to Loudon. The mean income at 5% in just the District of Columbia -- which is all that matters for this thread -- is about $532,000.

Top 5% of all Americans. Not just DC.

why would we care about what the people in Sitka or Oklahoma City earn? Do you also care about the demographic data by school for 2015-2016 in Minot, N.D.? No, right?

So don't bring up their parents' income when trying to make a point about the District's real estate and related public school trends.

That's a naive comment about rich people not living on the Hill. A house on my block just got listed for $1.9 million -- inbound for the Cluster. Plenty of expensive real estate outside Brent/Maury school-zones.

That house is way overpriced. I don't think it will even get what the owners originally paid for it.

Because we don't want to be the only Asian family at the school.

23:27 is a troll fail. Everyone know no real Asian would send their kids into a DC school.

PP you quoted. I know. I fell for it. Obviously a white mom that doesn't want to send their kids with too many black kids. Again, I say "you live in DC."

Same with us. When we see 0% Asian on data demographic data on DCPS school profiles, we wonder if it's really 0% this year. We've gone to ask principals in several cases, and it was an awkward conversation.
