[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t just a DC thing. Head over to the MD and VA forums. There is definitely a lot of discussion on what schools to avoid, etc.  Not criticizing just saying it happens.[/quote]

The is very much a nationwide thing. But DC liberals seem to like to place their kids in a place where they feels there’s a “comfortable” amount of diversity. But the reality is that most of those served by our public schools are poor children of color. Nice white parents need to accept that this reality. [/quote]

I am actually starting to realize it.
It will even be more so with covid/after covid. [b]There is a lot of UMC flight happening.[/b]
Add to this the influx of unaccompanied minors and yes you are right.
I am ok with this per se, the problem might be lowering the bar for academics. [/quote]

Where's the evidence that UMC families are are fleeing DC and DCPS en masse?  This sounds like an urban myth.

Our children attend one of the half dozen public elementary schools with an at-risk population in the single digits.  At a recent school community meeting, admins said that enrollment numbers appear to be holding steady. The school has only lost two dozen students since the start of the school year, and applications to private schools on the part of families appear to have nudged up only slightly over last year (the school knows who's applying to privates because admins send out transcripts and teachers provide recommendations).
