[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the exception of Oyster-Adams, these are all high performing schools that feed into Hardy middle school and the new MacArthur high school. Oyster-Adams goes through 8th grade then feeds to Jackson-Reed high school. If you want Spanish immersion, then Oyster-Adams is your obvious choice. Otherwise, most of these schools are more similar than different with a few caveats.

[b]Oyster-Adams - Spanish immersion and feeds to Jackson Reed. Lots of out of bounds students, so less of a neighborhood school feel. [/b]
Hyde-Addison - higher proportion of out of bounds families coming from other parts of the city. Which makes it a great community for those families, but also may make it less of a neighborhood school community?
Mann/Key - highest income schools with a mix of kids in the neighborhood using privates vs. public, and public kids leaving for private every year. Both have a strong neighborhood community feel, Mann at least has a high number of international families. Mann also has a very strong staff that get to know the kids well. 
Eaton/Stoddert - I don't know as much about these.[/quote]

Disagree on this point. There are OOB kids but lots of OA kids in our in-bound neighborhood right around Kalorama Park. If you go to the park or out around the neighborhood you almost always run into classmates.[/quote]

Good enough, thanks for adding that. I meant in comparison to some of these other schools that are 80-90% in boundary, and much of the OOB population still lives in the immediate area. Compared to 55% at O-A and kids come from all over the city. It’s a very different experience for IB and OOB kids at both types of schools. [/quote]
