DC has new whites moving into predominately black neighborhoods now that aren’t zoned for Deal/Wilson.  T[b]hey will have no choice but to send their kids to other middle/high schools.[/b] Soon it will be enough of them going to a neighborhood school where they will feel more comfortable. I was surprised by how many whites were at my child’s play date social for Powell. [/quote]

No choice?  Which high SES DC family can't move to the burbs if they hit a wall with DCPS or DCPC?  When friends of ours got fed up with an in-demand charter recently, they sold their Capitol Hill house for asking price after a single open house (although their IB school is definitely not in demand, at least not past PreK), buying one in VA a week later.  Another family we know did the same by renting at both ends.

While we don't want to move, Dunbar is our high school.  We are at a charter now, but if after aging out we are left with no charter options for high school...it's the 'burbs for us.[/quote]
