Right. And they can easily sell their homes, usually for a profit. So they move.

That's not been my experience at all. We have many friends with older kids sending them to private. Not sure what you're trying to say. I know many people with kids in Maury who put them in private middle/high schools. Maybe you just hang out with too many of the "poors".

Wow, did you read your posting before hitting "submit"? You sound like a complete asshole.

Glad I have never met anyone on the Hill that actually talks like this. Maybe because I'm one of the "poors" myself.

no -- the private school options on the east side of town are limited and the best options are clustered to the west/northwest along with the best public schools. There are a few private and parochial options but unless you are included to commute via Uber or play chaperone the east side does not have great proximity to private schools. Aside from CDS there aren't any that really stand out on the Hill.

I can't recall how many kids were in my elementary classes growing up but there were two classes in each grade and I don't recall it being that many (non-DCPS school). We would be starting in K not pk unfortunately (although I hear there is no guarantee that one would get in at the pk3/4 level). Would prefer not to have my little one be the only non-white kid in the class and preferably not the only black kid in the class. Don't know anything about Shepherd - I'll do some preliminary research.

You may want to check out Van Ness Elementary School in the Capitol Riverfront. There are literally thousands of new housing being build right now (Apartments and Condos), and Van Ness Elementary WILL be totally renovated for the upcoming 2016-2017 School Year. The school will be serving PK3, PK4, K and 1st grade in 2016-2017. I went to the open house and the Demographics were 50% white, 35% African-American, 10% hispanic, and 5% Asian. Also, the school is NOT a Title I school.

But it will be a title one next year when it starts 1st grade , right?
