[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks everyone for your very useful feedback. So, it seems it will be either Eaton or Hearst. I actually was hoping for H. Mann, but that's probably not going to happen. 
Other consideration is to move to Montgomery County by the time kid starts Kindergarten. Though I am getting conflicting feedback on Montgomery County schools now. [/quote]

Hearst or Eaton are fantastic schools. I love the community vibes of the school. Id take either of those schools over any Montgomery county school. Class size in Montgomery are enough for me to not consider. [/quote]

Decent schools, most times good ones?  Sure.  But &quot;fantastic&quot;?  No.

Troll! Hearst/Eaton &gt; Janney any day. [/quote]

Yeah, that's the reason why Janney has needed three renovations in a decade, just to keep up with neighborhood demand.  And it's basically all IB enrollment.  Many people move to AU Park specifically for Janney.  What's the neighborhood take-up at Eaton, which is a much smaller school to fill?  40-45%?  And has Hearst broken the 20% neighborhood barrier yet?  I take nothing away from Hearst and Eaton, which must provide an adequate education in the view of the parents who send their kids there, but to describe them as "fantastic" is true only in the literal sense that it is fantasy to consider them in the top rung of DC public elementary schools.[/quote]

You are a fool and I feel pathetic even responding to you. First, people IB for Eaton and Hearst tend to be better off financially and historically sent their kids private. Yes the demand is so high for Janney that there are about 200 kids per grade. Not exactly something I'd want for my kid but hey keep telling yourself that Janney is the best school if it makes you feel better. Fantastic and Best are not all about who has the richest and whitest population. Heck look at Ross. A diverse school with IB and OOB kids (btw, OOB doesn't mean bad, there are many kids EOTP that are smarter than your snowflake) and Ross is a nice small school that locked Janney's ass in scores last year. Get over yourself.[/quote]
