[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give us break.  We've been on the Hill since the 1990s.  We know Hill kids who used to be at our DCPS ES who ended up at all sorts of "really solid" privates, GDS, Maret, Sidwell, NCS, St. Alban's, St. Anselm's, St. John's etc.  Fact is, the population of the Hill is double what is what just 25 years ago.  Plenty of families, and money, to go around these days.  We're not as affluent collectively as Upper NW families, true, but we're no longer far behind.  I can't count the number of Hill families we've rubbed shoulders with over the years who went with DC public elementary and middle schools while saving up for private high schools.[/quote]

The commute from the Hill to GDS is excrutiating.  Why would you live on the Hill (paying 1mil+ for a house) and save for private that will significantly disrupt your day, instead of just moving to NW?

FWIW the only Hill families I know decamping for privates are the ones who already didn't really fit in (like law partner families). Nice people, clearly were not going to stay on the Hill.  As for "trying out the IB MS" ha ha, no. [/quote]. Read more carefully. PP talked about Hill families using public middle schools while saving for HS, not just in boundary middle schools. Some families go private for HS after MS at Latin or Basis.[/quote]

I mean … if you can pay a mortgage, pay for daycare, then save for private MS/HS, and save for college at the same time, you are definitely rich. [/quote]
