[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know nothing about the school’s leadership so I won’t comment on what effect that is having on the enrollment. But Lowell has another problem: geography. Location location location.  It’s in a horrible location for DCs most affluent families.  So the demographic cliff is going to hit a school in a bad location like Lowell first. [/quote]

I disagree.  It's in a very good location for DC's affluent families.

I think this is mostly about cost and being K-8.  Lowell is very expensive and K-8 schools are out of vogue because the public elementaries are good.[/quote]

Agreed, I'm on the far side (compared to Lowell) of Forest Hills which is exactly the sort of neighborhood you expect to send their kids to Lowell and it is only 15 minutes away.  But also, I prioritized schools that took my kid to 12th when choosing a school (though I did lightly look at ones that ended sooner and public, they just weren't my priority and the private K-8s probably would have easily lost out to a strong DC lottery result...[/quote]
