[quote=Anonymous]There's some validity to the impression that Eaton is like the poor stepchild among ward 3 schools.  A lot may have to do with simple politics and the fact that Eaton remains a majority out of boundary school.  That means that a majority of the school parents are not Mary Cheh's constituents.  (Because Eaton parents are dispersed around various wards of the city, it's not like other council members are going to worry much about Eaton either.) As a practical matters, Cheh is going to expend capital and time pushing the DCPS bureaucracy to address the interests other schools in the ward like Janney or Murch over Eaton, simply because there are more Ward 3 voters in those school communities.  For this reason, it's understandable that Eaton was the sacrificial school thrown under the bus when a school needed to be dropped from Deal.  The curious thing is that Hearst may have a higher OOB population, but the dynamics are shifting more rapidly than Eaton, and it just seems that the Hearst community does a better job of advocating for themselves.
