[b]One could argue that high achieving, higher income kids are left behind by the traditional school system in DCPS.  Unless you can buy a million dollar house in upper NW or Cap Hill for Brent, then your kid is screwed. [/b] [/quote]

Nonsense.  I know parents who may or may not clear the "high SES" bar, including single parents, who rent two-bedroom places in the Oyster, Murch, Ross, Powell, Watkins or Maury Districts in order to use those fine elementary schools. Watkins hovers on the brink of Title 1 status, yet its white kids scored highest on the PARCC in the city this year, for both English and math.  No, I'm not a Watkins booster; I'm just really impressed.
