[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious as to why JKLMM doesn't include E!H and S.

Why aren't Eaton, Hearst and Stoddert considered in the same league?[/quote]

There is a qualitative difference with the JKLMM schools -- just about everyone who attends is in-boundary, and just about everyone who is in-boundary who goes to public school attends. This is starkly different from the rest of public education in DC, where roughly three quarters of kids don't attend their in-boundary school. Eaton and Hearst are dominated by OOB kids so they don't fit that profile.

Stoddert is kind of a mixed bag.[/quote]

NP. So you're saying because a school's profile isn't 100% IB, they don't earn a right to be considered just as top notch as JKLM. I call BS. In my perspective (and many non original JKLM parents), Stoddert, Eaton, Hearst should belong there if not more so because they are successful and diverse. PP that asked, many of us have already changed it to EHJKLMMORSS (it's just easier to type JKLM). The old guard doesn't want to allow others into the cool club for fear of it becoming a deluded pool. As if more successful schools will cause their property values to go down in the $100ks.[/quote]
