[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the Cleveland Park folks in $2 million homes already send their kids to private school, but Cleveland Park has lots of other residents -- in much less expensive homes and condos.  They are the ones who will not have options because they don't have the funds for private.  The uncertainty will hurt a lot of property values in Ward 3.  If Hardy is not good enough for Mann and Stoddert (witness the numbers), then why is it good enough for Eaton.  It's not what any of the parents expect.  Is it simply Eaton's turn to go to the bad middle school?  Can't we do better than that for all the kids in the city?[/quote]

It may be a good enough outcome for Eaton because it has more than 50 percent students from out of boundary area.  Those kids' parents probably will be ok with any option that is not their "home" school, especially if it is on the west side of Rock Creek Park.  The OOB parents also are less likely to be activist complainers than you would find in schools with a higher proportion of Ward 3 parents.[/quote]

1st PP, show me the sub 2mil owner occupied homes that send kids to Eaton--heck, show me the sub 750k home in  CP and I've got a bridge I could sell you.[/quote]

Then you'd better sell that bridge.   My kids went to Eaton, and lots of my neighbors send their kids there.  [/quote]
