[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has devolved into a silly thread.

The demographic differences between all of the Ward 3 ES are insignificant and indiscernible, particularly when you consider how diverse DC and the region really are.  Sure Hearst and Eaton have a bit more diversity and OOB but only relative to the rest of the neighborhood - someone coming from a public ES in any other neighborhood in DC would be bewildered to hear a Hearst or Eaton parent bragging about how diverse their school is.

And the comments about the cultures at each school are equally silly and are anecdotes reflecting individual posters impressions of different schools.

But the really silly thing is that unless you have and are willing to spend whatever it takes on your home you may not get to choose which school district you buy in - housing supply has been very tight in all of these neighborhoods for the last 4-5 years so if you see a house you like and can afford you should go for it and ignore all of the silliness on this thread.

One other note - Janney does have a huge advantage that only one other poster referenced - it is the only ES (and this goes for Deal and Wilson too) that is really well situated for getting to and from on multiple forms of public transportation and its location in a commercial area is also very convenient for a number of reasons.   Hearst and Hardy are easy to go on the bus but that greatly limits the places you can to the school from - Janney/Deal are reachable not just on Metro but from multiple Metrobus routes as well.

I’m sorry but there is a difference between 20% black at Hearst and Eaton and 5% black at Janney. [/quote]
