[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to sound inflammatory, but a lot of high SES parents pull their kids out after elementary school and move to NW or the burbs. Is there movement afoot to improve middle and high school choices? Can anyone forecast the outlook over the next 10 years?[/quote]

Within the next 3 years it will sink in with everyone that Hardy MS is now desirable.  That will do a few things - it will show that DCPS can turn a middle school in addition to Deal.  It will mean fewer OOB slots at Hardy for the Hill. OTOH it might mean a few more slots at the desirable charter middle schools.

Not at all clear what will happen at McFarland.  DCPS will continue to work on unraveling the EC's.

Meanwhile gentrification on the Hill and in nearby areas will proceed apace.  This will increase the number of high SES kids at a range of Hill area elementaries.  By ten years from now the demographic situation impacting the three middle schools will be very different.   [/quote]

All this. Good job PP![/quote]
