[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin parent here. Want to add that the school is very close to Columbia Heights, an area with lots of lower income housing. Brightwood park is also a economically diverse area. I think it is crazy to suggest Latin chose the current location to keep the school wealthy.[/quote] They didn't choose it to be among wealthy people, and that neighborhood isn't a wealthy one. But they also didn't put in someplace where it would be far easier for lower-income and at-risk people to enroll, and the sibling preference means that only about 45 non-sibling students get into each grade. If you look at the student commute map, it shows you that there are more students coming to Latin from WOTP than EOTR. https://www.dcpcsb.org/washington-latin-pcs-middle-school-student-location-map[/quote] The upper school map is even more stark: https://www.dcpcsb.org/washington-latin-pcs-high-school-student-location-map[/quote]
