[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think it was a legitimate quesiton given the pages and pages of people pontificating and predicting what the demographics would be like. Also, this is one of the few schools with gauranteed entry for IB preschool kids. The catchment area is two extremes-wealthy/educated/gentrifiers in Cap Riverfront and very very low income from Public housing on the other side of S.Capitol. Most education experts agree that for a school to be "successful" it needs to not exceed 35% FARMS kids. So this is an interesting question to answer as it points to how the school might grow. The demand is there now in preschool but honestly the school needs to retain those higher SES families as the years go on.[/quote] This is absolutely true. Hopefully Capitol Riverfront families support this school and send their kids there.[/quote]
