[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not the best or most sought after schools. There are plenty of other excellent schools, which in some instances rate higher, than those schools - look at the most recent PARCC scores. I don't understand this forum's obsession. [/quote]

I suspect the forum's obsession with JKLM schools is related to where people who post on here live.[/quote]

It is shorthand for west of the park Deal feeder elementary schools, minus Hearst (not sure why, maybe it didn't always feed Deal or some other no longer applicable reason?)[/quote]

Key and Mann feed to Hardy.

I think JKLM (Janney, Key, Lafayette, Mann) dates back to the days before charter schools had really taken hold, when the NW elementaries had the reputation of being basically the only game in town. Now, we have HRCSs. And plenty of other elementaries that DCUM would not have considered a decade ago. This is why you hear "JKLM" so rarely anymore here that people don't know what it stands for.[/quote]

The HR doesn’t fit anymore so you don’t hear HRCS as much either.
