[quote=Anonymous]I'd say they are both pretty good choices. Hearst has more out-of-boundary students, has more lower income students whose parents are making an effort to bring them from all over the city. There is a terrific program of optional aftercare activities, a spanking new building, a city rec center and beautiful soccer field lined with old oak trees...Eaton has an older facility but also more white kids, fewer kids on subsidies, and higher test scores which may indicate more effective teaching but may be related to the 45% inbound population who live in a relatively expensive part of town and have parents with more resources.  It is in a nice part of town with a very cute city playground/rec center nearby (Macomb). For me, Cleveland Park where Eaton is located is an easy neighborhood to live in, there is the little strip of restaurants, the Metro, but Hearst is also walking distance (if a bit of a stretch) from two Metro stops. It's located right across the street from Sidwell Friends where the president's daughters go to school so there are Secret Service vehicles parked visibly near it. 
Not sure what the deal is with Eaton now in terms of feeding to which middle school? Hardy or can students choose Deal? [/quote]
