[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people know which students are IB or OOB? Is there a directory that lists everyone’s address? Are people speculating IB vs OOB based on race? I ask bc we have a low lottery number for Hearst. If offered a spot and we accept, will my 1st grader be ostracized because she lives EOTP? Do kids talk about where they live? Or are there that many parents with free time standing around at drop off speculating?[/quote] Can any current IB parents answer this? How do you know if a student is IB or OOB? Is the information shared or presumed? [/quote]m

It is often presumed by race, which is completely ridiculous and totally unwarranted. Out of Boundary covers a lot of ground: it might be someone on the other side of McLean Gardens, zoned for Eaton, or it might be someone from SE DC who makes a long daily commute in search of what they see as a better education for their child. It’s rude and presumptuous and unfortunately not uncommon for parents to assume that if someone is Black or Latino they “must” be” out of boundary but never make the same assumptions about middle-class where kids. A lot of people showed their asses during the pandemic, that is for sure! [/quote]
