[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't that the 103 number??[/quote]

I'm the one who cited the 103, and the PP is correct.  It is the number of school-aged children who attend *public* school, and so excludes private-school attending children.  My understanding is that such studies (or rather a single study) have been done, but they are pretty rough, and suggest that kids in the Hearst boundary don't attend private school in greater numbers than in say Eaton or Janney, and maybe even at a lower rate.  The boundary just doesn't contain a lot of school-aged kids.

From some of the posts here it seems like some folks are confusing the housing stock of Eaton with the housing stock of Hearst.  Not too many multi-million dollar Victorians in the Hearst boundary; that's Eaton.  Hearst does have Springland Farm, which are some very nice houses and wild speculation suggests that those families probably do send their kids to private school.  But a lot of the boundary is duplexes, smaller single family homes, and apartments (the northern part of McLean Gardens and those along Connecticut).  Sure some of those families send their kids to private (we know quite a number of them), and many of these duplexes are still very nice and not especially cheap, but they are more modest homes when compared to Cleveland Park.[/quote]
