[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WaPo article cites family-age covid white flight as higher than elsewhere.

Will the scenario of overcrowded WoTP schools pushing out "middle class" families come sooner than threatened by JR feeder parents?

Anyone have anecdotal feedback on white flight in areas EoTP or anywhere in DC?

D.C.'s White population has declined for the first time in two decades

Pandemic and low interest rates. Its going to change. More UMC blacks and whites would stay. [b]Crazy competitiveness of suburban schools is changing minds[/b].[/quote]

This is an important point.
I teach at a "desirable" high school in the inner suburbs. We had 250 seniors graduate with over a 4.0 this year. All of them can't get accepted by William & Mary and UVa. It's funny to listen to them complain about how "not fair" it is that other kids get in over them.[/quote]

There is clearly selection bias going on, but all the rich white kids I know in DCPS do as well (if not better than) the kids in families that left DCPS to MoCo or NoVa in terms of college admission. Now I know a lot of that is people who struggled in DCPS could struggle elsewhere, so I'm not blaming MoCo/NoVa.[/quote]
