[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Hill schools gentrified because the in-boundary families were (to overstate it) white and rich and the school had previously had a lot of out-of-boundary students.

Unless your in-boundary homes and families are like that, you won't get a flip like that.[/quote]

People who are rich don't live in the hill[/quote]

Any person who makes over $118,500 in gross wages a year is in the top 5% of wage earners in this country. They are well off by any measure if they are purchasing a home on the Hill. [/quote]

No, "doing pretty well" is not synonymous with "rich."     Dual earner professionals live on the Hill and need to use public school.   The rich live someplace else and don't care about the data trends at Payne and Miner.

Also, your facts are way, way off -- the top 5% is now $278,000 for the entire metro area, all the way out to Loudon.  The mean income at 5% in just the District of Columbia -- which is all that matters for this thread -- is about [b]$532,000.[/b]
