[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP---back to the question at hand.  For many years Eaton was the OOB school of choice for Mt. Pleasant families who were not enamored with Bancroft, which historically (as in for the past 20 years) has been a Title I bilingual school focused on meeting the needs of immigrant ESL children.  Eaton was also popular with DC politicos.  Because the catchment area is small, and the housing stock consists of the apartments/co-ops of Connecticut Avenue and the Victorian mansions of Cleveland Park, there were not a sufficient number of IB kids to fill the school.

In my experience, the OOB parents at Eaton are in general as highly educated [b](though perhaps not as wealthy[/b]) as the IB parent population and every bit as invested in their children's education.  My fellow parents have included foreign diplomats, journalists, economists, Hill staffers/lobbyists, university professors, museum educators, as well as the typical DC lawyer types.

We live in a tiny house in the Hearst boundary and I guarantee that quite a few of the OOB families make more money than us and live in more expensive houses than we do.[/quote]

And some drive some pretty sweet sets of wheels with those low numbered DC license plates that shout  "I have friends in high places in the District Building."[/quote]

Quite true![/quote]
