[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe, but why should we believe that it will?  It took Latin over a decade before most of the middle school families began to stay through high school.

Because the city has changed significantly compared to back then.  It has gentrified very, very much.  Much, much more competition from UMC families now for middle and high schools EOTP.

You can’t get anything renovated for less than 700-800k except for EOTR and few outlier areas close to the border.

Without a doubt, DCI is going to have a lot of UMC families who will go there.

I’m laughing at all the people who post that it’s not rigorous enough.  Guess they have not figured out that no DCPS or charter school is rigorous enough to track the highest performing kids.  Maybe Basis, but that school only works for a certain subset of high performing kids, not all. It’s all about peer groups people.  [/quote]

A good many families in the upper grades at our children's public ES (one of the several highest-performing EotP) still leave DC.  Parents search for greener pastures for MS & HS.  These are mostly couples and single parents who've lived in our gentrifying neighborhood for many years.  Those who stay, at least the people we know, tend to supplement quite a bit without advertising this.  Some of these parents essentially quietly half homeschool, which gets expensive, and exhausting.  Mayor Bowser doesn't seem give a hoot if UMC families stay in our public schools and she's in charge, in a jurisdiction with mayoral control of schools. [/quote]
