[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in University Park, just blocks away from Northwestern.  My kids aren't yet high school aged, but [b]I know very few kids from the neighborhood who go to Northwestern[/b]--it is widely considered not a great option.  For public, most families try to get into Eleanor Roosevelt (STEM magnet) or College Park Academy.  For privates, the top choices are DeMatha (boys), Seton (girls), Sandy Spring Friends, St. Anselm's Abbey (boys)--I think they're all technically religious, but I don't know anything about the daily religiosity actually happening at any of them.  I'll chime back in if I think of any others that I'm missing.  [/quote]

I find comments like this so odd. There are 2 thousand kids at Northwestern. Obviously kids "go there." But not families that look like you, PP? Is that it?

Not the PP but my kid goes to Northwestern and there are very few kids walking from University Park to Northwestern in the mornings.  I see a handful of kids walking that way but I know almost all of them from the VPA program.  UP is only a small percentage of the population for the attendance zone because the population density is comparatively low.  Most of the kids in the comprehensive program come from Hyattsville, Chillum and Mt Rainier.

But your point is valid....often people that say "no one" goes to the schools and mean no white middle class kids go there.
