[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, look at the growth in Hearst and West. Is this a trend of more DCPS becoming broadly popular?[/quote] I think so, yes. You have to also factor in the baby boom that happened a couple years ago and realize that those kids are all entering PK now. Also, families are not moving to the suburbs as their children age. When I first moved here, people were moving to the suburbs as soon as they got pregnant, at least partially because of schools. I actually don't know one family with PK/lower elementary aged kids who is leaving the city because of schools. The families I know who are moving are mostly upgrading from 1 bedroom to 2+ bedrooms. Not everyone can afford to move WOTP (though I do know 2 families who did that when their kids were 2/3 years old, 100% because of schools) and if you can't afford to move WOTP, chances are you can't afford private school either. Those kids have to go somewhere.[/quote]
