[quote=Anonymous]It's going to take a lot to turn around Amidon, and will have more to do with what happens long-term with the housing complexes in sw (which is anybody's guess). I've lived a block away from it for almost 10 years, and while their are lots of new babies and toddlers popping up in the neighborhood, all of the older children who still live in the neighborhood (outside of the housing complexes, which are what entirely feed amidon) have done oob lottery to capitol hill or georgetown.

While I don't disagree with you about the changing demographics and growth that is happening to both the navy yard area and sw, the housing stock being generated isn't that great for families, and if you can afford one of the larger townhomes in the area (which aren't many), than you can probably also afford to move to an area with much better school options. The few active parents that are in the neighborhood have not organized to make any forseeable change to amidon happen in the near future, and seem to care more about trying to create a new playground than the school. Amidon might have had a chance if they didn't send all the Bowen school kids their as well when they closed that school as it made the social economics of Amidon even worse than it already was, and no amount of money will fix that.[/quote]
