[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS had almost 150,000 students in the 1960s. [/quote] Sure, but it also had a total population ~ 750 million and included middle and working class families. DC today is very different demographically: fewer families, more singles and couples without children. Many of those historic buildings have been sold off and converted to condos (there are some really gorgeous ones too - none of which are large enough for families of school-aged children who would be attending them if they were open). The suburbs have exploded and offer an easier path for a quality education for many families. [/quote] Wow, that's really amazing that D.C. previously had a population of 750 million! Families are staying longer than 10-20 years ago, and many of the families I know live in condos. I think the current urban 20-somethings are very different from their 40-something predecessors.
