[quote=Anonymous]Lots of places have high real estate prices and not great public schools, especially in cities. One problem you'll find in DC is that parents come in with the intention that they put their kids in DCPS, and find that they are happy enough with the local elementary school that pulls from their neighborhood, but then the feeder pattern is not good and because of combining several not great elementary schools and the student attrition to charters, they realize their kid will now be at a middle or high school where 10% of students are at grade level and 0% are above, and that's a whole different proposition. DCPS won't differentiate, so their kids end up in class with students several grade levels behind. It's not good and so people leave. [/quote]
