[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No here. We are eyeing a move to NWDC from Maryland and are considering Eaton. One thing we are concerned about (from our own past experiences in the District) is the revolving door/transient nature of so much of DC. Do you find that your kids' friends in these schools tend to move away every few years, or once people have kids, do they tend to stay in the neighborhood? And do kids who start at Eaton tend to go on to Hardy (and do many stay all the way through MacArthur, to the extent it's not too early to tell)? We would love our kid to have a relatively stable cohort, and we'd love to make some relatively stable parent friends as well!

Thank you![/quote]

As a NW DC resident, DCPS parent, and current Hardy parent, I can say it really depends. One of my kids has gone through elementary and Hardy with the same friends since kindergarten. No one moved and only one went to private for MS. Another child of mine has lost good friends every single year - either to private or a move. It’s just luck of the draw, I think.[/quote]
