[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]This is not the same DCPS today it was when our kids were starting school 10-15 years ago...[/b][/quote]

Exactly.  Just like it won't be the same DCPS 10 years from now, because of all the changing demographics in the city in the past 10 years.[/quote]

Except it IS the same as it was 10 years ago! Oldiest DC is in high school and when we started DC in school, there were admittedly less good local elementary options. However, it was still Stuart or leave the Hill and Eastern wasn't an option. Same as today. Don't see the demographics changing again that much in the next 10 years, especially now that housing values on the Hill have gone up. This is a transient town and people move all the time.[/quote]
