[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's going to be interesting to see how DCPS and the politicians react when the in-boundary percentage at the rebooted Eastern starts to drop, and continues to drop for years to come.  They seem to have tunnel vision on the issue, with the in-boundary percentage currently a reassuring 63%.  Flash forward six or eight years, and few of us on the Hill be surprised to see an in-boundary percentage at Eastern in the 30s or 40s.  You just don't hear gentrifiers who pay close attention to what's going on in public schools, talking about planning to use Eastern, even if their kids are little.  Meanwhile, Wilson's in boundary percentage, which has ticked up into the high 50s, seems set to rise year after year, into the 60s, 70s and 80s....

What does Wilson offer that Eastern does not? Other than higher SES cohort, are not the subjects the same at both schools. It appears that Eastern offers more, with both AP and IB. Therefore, it must be the majority/minority that turns you away. What should DCPS do with these brown and black kids to make the white parents comfortable sending their kiddies there?  Perhaps ship them all across the river so that you can be comfortable.  [/quote]
