[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that there's more diversity is PS3 and PS4 at Meridian because parents flee when kindergarten rolls around, not because the demographics are changing.  Many schools have diverse PS3 and PK4 classes, but the demographics change a lot once the K fleeing happens.[/quote]

Not a Meridian family, but I strongly doubt it.

There didn't used to be any diversity in PS3 and PS4, but now there is.  That's a new phenomenon, which correlates directly with the [url=http://ustreet-dc.org/index.php/living-here/neighborhood-news/historic-preservation-and-development/319-meridian-charter-school-announces-renovation-plans-for-harrison-school]beautiful new facility[/url].  It's not as if higher SES families were there all along and abandoned it at K.  Instead, higher SES families are giving it a chance for the first time, and some of them will likely stay.  Time will tell of course, but it happened at Stokes (charter) and Maury (DCPS); it could happen at Meridian too.  In an ever-gentrifying part of town with more and more young families looking for viable options, Meridian is very pretty and very pretty convenient to just sit on the sidelines.[/quote]
