[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a mixed bag. I know Hill folks who attend Walls, McKinley, Duke, DeMatha (in MD), Gonzaga, Latin and Basis.[/quote]

NCS
St. Anselm's
Georgetown Visitation
St. John's
Sidwell
St. Alban's

For current high schools, also add:

SSAS
Field
GDS
Holy Child
Maret
Burke

In other words -- pretty much every private high school in DC that can somehow be reached by Metro, plus SSAS and Potomac, plus Ellington/Walls/Latin/BASIS.  Wilson back when they let OOB in but not generally an option any longer.

High school options have been changing (for the better) of late, but remember that current HS students were in elementary school back when "everyone" on the Hill went to St Peters, the Cluster, or CHDS and would sooner put their eye out than go to Brent.  This is not the same DCPS today it was when our kids were starting school 10-15 years ago...[/quote]

Stop injecting "perspective" into the conversation!  Everyone knows (read: the people whose memories go back 5 years or less) that Brent was ALWAYS a great school, and so was Maury for that matter.  No one ever got in OOB to those schools and they didn't get better over time as a critical mass of parents committed to increasingly higher grades.

I chuckle every time some ninny posts that [insert name of school here] will never get better because no parents will ever send their kids there.  sigh... [/quote]
