[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Real estate in DC is very expensive and has been for a while. I think if you could gather the data and look you would see far fewer new private schools in DC than in the surrounding areas over the past few decades. I also think specialized schools have to go where the market is and [b]I suspect there are just a lot fewer ASD kids on Capitol Hill and more in the burbs, [/b]whether because of the concentration of kids generally, families moving for more space or clusters from other causes. [/quote] Agree with this post and also think staff pay is a big part of it. Administrators at these schools make good money. Some of the teachers do alright. Classroom assistants, cafeteria workers, and custodians are probably not going to be able to afford to live anywhere near Capitol Hill and wouldn't do the commute unless the pay was raised significantly.
