[quote=Anonymous]+1. My NYC, Boston and Chicago college pals seem a lot more likely to stay in their city through MS and HS than my DC pals. Sure, test-in programs aren't perfect, but at least in other big urban centers many bright kids can test in to strong gifted ES and MS programs, and much more serious selective public high schools, than in this city. At least strong enrichment programs exist and especially bright and hard-working low-income kids get recruited. At least the most popular middle schools in other cities end up with gyms, stages, good libraries, computer rooms etc. across the board. I can never figure out how poor DC families benefit from droves of middle-class families hitting the road to the burbs and privates after ES. This city could of course expand its tax base by keeping more middle-class families, helping expand services to the poor. [/quote]
