[quote=Anonymous]It seems that now there are a number of children from Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, Crestwood, and neighborhoods WOTP.  It also seems that a number of children from these neighborhoods are higher SES given the FARMS rate.  Do you think this will change with the move?  Will people from those neighborhoods continue to seek entry into MV or will it become a Bloomingdale/Ledroit/Truxton Circle/NOMA dominant sort of school?  Will proximity to lower SES neighborhoods mean an increase in the FARMS rates?  Will the latino population remain the same or will it end up decreasing given the low concentration of Latinos in MV's new location?  What do you think?  Note:  I have no statistics to back up the perceived rate of High SES vs low SES in the neighborhoods cited.  My concern is that although MV is a charter and not a neighborhood school, in light of where I live (near Columbia Heights, Mt. Pleasant, Crestwood, and neighborhoods WOTP), it is still somewhat neighborhoody for my DC because of where the other families come from.  So  playdates and outings will not be a hassle.  On the other hand, if there is an influx of families from MV's new location, this will change things.  Another post re: choosing local DCPS over charter has got me thinking seriously about this aspect.
