[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are often more chill about schools if they have an adequate middle and high school feeder.   [/quote]

This. I've lived in a few different DC neighborhoods including Capitol Hill and live in an UNW Deal/Wilson feeder neighborhood now. It's so much easier to be chill when everything isn't a fight against the city and schools because you already have a good feeder path all the way through. IME, there's also a difference in how the WOTP DCPS teachers and administration behave towards parents and students. They're much more collaborative and fair. I believe it's because they understand this parent group wouldn't accept less in these established schools. I also agree with another pp who claimed that the lack of a feeder pattern drives away UMC families in otherwise good Hill DCPS schools. There's less incentive for the city and school officials to work with families when they know they're probably going to leave anyway. Just my experience, YMMV.[/quote]
