[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Are you kidding? Lots of less expensive houses , plus condos and apartments in the Eaton district.   And I know people in $3 million homes who send their kids to Eaton .  You obviously don't know the area at all.[/quote]

Np here. I've lived off Reno for 20 years so I'm acquainted with "the area."

1.  There are not, in fact, "lots" of HOUSES that are "less expensive" than $2m.  There are lots of condos, and there are a few townhome sort of things east of connecticut or in McLean gardens.

2. There are a handful of houses/SFHs in Cleveland park proper that are worth less than 2m. I think it's a stretch to announce that all of,these Have kids and all those kids attend eaton, don't you?

This is not news  the whole reason eaton -- a small school to begin with, mind you -- has so many seats for kids eotp is precisely BECAUSE Cleveland park houses DON't send their kids to public school.  A few parents moving into McLean gardens doesn't change that. [/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

You clearly don't know Cleveland Park, because you don't know what you're talking about,  But even if this were accurate, what is your point exactly?   That kids who don't live in Cleveland Park and yet attend Eaton somehow are not "deserving" enough of continuing to Deal?!  Sheesh, if that's your view, it makes Mitt Romney seem like Pope Francis![/quote]
