[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So their peer group is good enough to live around but not attend school with? Man are some of you rationalizing for the privilege of a cute 1200 Sqft rowhome and a Hill address which is just about all of DC east of North/South Captiol st these days. [/quote] You don't understand the demographics of some of these schools. At many of these CH schools, most of the kids who live near the school wind up going to charters or privates or OOB to other DCPS, and a significant portion of the students in the classrooms are OOB coming from neighborhoods with even worse DCPS options. Look at the IB percentages at some of the CH schools with lower test scores. They are low. That's actually part of the problem. You want to go to your neighborhood school with your neighbors, but instead most of your kid's classmates live too far away for regular playdates.[/quote]
