[quote=Anonymous]Eaton parent here.  We love our school.  The staff is great and the family community is incredibly welcoming and diverse.  The student body comes from all over the District and represents numerous cultural backgrounds.  Our family has first-hand experience with educational differentiation where our child has participated in higher level math classes than the standard taught at her grade level.  The school also has fabulous reading and math teachers that provide extra support for students.  We have active parents who work hard to support the school and enjoy having fun at the same time.  I would encourage you to visit the school if possible to see what a welcoming and accomodating place it is.

The school currently feeds into either Deal or Hardy.  From what I hear, the vast majority (if not all) of students who choose between the two go to Deal.  Because of the overcrowding issue at Deal, the current proposals from the office of the Deputy Mayor for Education are changing Eaton to feed only to Hardy.  I stress that this is a propsal, because we have no idea what the next proposal may be, whether the current Mayor will accept it and whether the incoming mayor will implement it.  Hardy has solid support from current families, a seemingly growing number of in-boundary participation and a principal who is focused on increasing class offerings.

I wish you luck with your choice and your move.  We love living in DC.[/quote]
