[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents love Powell but its really really hard to get into OOB and even IB for pk.  Barnard used to be "hot" and its still getting better but parents seem more hype for powell.  Bruce Monroe to the south is up and coming but no real critical mass of high SES families yet.  I know petworth families at El Haynes, yu Ying, Hearst OOB and Insprired teaching. But all those are a long shot now. most got in several years ago.  I sense that most of the parents are committed to their IBs for ps3/pk4 and K but play lottery every year assuming eventually something will work out.[/quote]

I love how people gauge parent's opinions of what school is "hot" based on the number of corresponding DCUM posts.[/quote]

Nope. Just a resident of Columbia Heights and now petworth for 15 years so I have seen a lot families, neighbors and friends go through school drama. El Hanynes was not, then Barnard for DCPS but now there are a lot more options and thats a good thing. All schools should be pushng for improvement if they want to attract students. As many PP have pointed out, Powell is the main DCPS talked about in the 'hood. People are also really excited about CM moving to soldiers home in the communtiy.  Its not DCUM, some of us actually live here.[/quote]
