"Hill East", they say. I call it the part right next to the jail and the homeless shelter.

Yes, people who live by RFK definitely try to claim Capitol Hill.

You can buy a house on the Hill for only $600K??

Yes in 1998.

Considering that if you listen to most of the recent white transplants capital hill encompasses most of DC that isn't east of the river or NW. I have heard people call RFK capital hill

Their kids are from a household that will support their success at high school and beyond DESPITE Stuart Hobson mediocrity.

They avoided Eastern High School ( privates, Walls, Ellington, Banneker etc instead ) for the SAME reasons that families avoid Stuart Hobson ( just a few years earlier ). But they do not like to talk about it.

So, in fact, Capitol Hill Eastern HS-avoiders and Capitol Hill MS-avoiders actually have 98% of their DNA in common and should get along better

Even the head of CHPSPO, who sent her son to SH, bailed on DCPS high schools.

We are long time DC and Hill residents, so the whole racial and OOB obsessiveness was never really a factor.

We judged the schools by what we knew and saw in the teachers and in our own kids.

They were happy and did well. We feel very lucky!

Yeah, but did you ever walk the hallways and observe recess and cafeteria? Did you ever talk to your kids about what they see and experience. Did you notice behavioral changes in your kids and any antisocial tendencies. Did you give a f^ck?

Wow. You are an ass. Are you really accusing the PP of being a neglectful and uncaring parent for sending her/his kids to the neighborhood schools, despite their having successfully matriculated to "great SLACs or universities" as s/he said? Are kids who go from Stuart Hobson to Walls somehow affixed with horns so that you were able to pick out their "behavioral changes" and "antisocial tendencies" when they were at Walls among other kids?

Some truth:

Capitol Hill families who sent/send their kids to Stuart Hibson do it despite the academic and sometimes social behavior drawbacks. It is "good enough". They are not demanding academic excellence or high expectations for behave BECAUSE

Their kids are from a household that will support their success at high school and beyond DESPITE Stuart Hobson mediocrity.

Look up Eastern High school IB program in the dcum archives and you'll find "Word Salad eastern High booster". She really hates Capitol Hill for some reason.

WTH?

If your point is that the city administration - particularly the Mayor - is disinterested in serving the needs of the middle class, then that's obvious.

Call it what you want...but when you read it and respond to it...then you're eating what's being served. Digest that!!! No one is worried about Cap Hill residents...get a freaking life, it's not about you and when will you learn.

Is this the word salad eastern high school booster who hates Capitol Hill?

Can't be. The syntax may be awkward in places, but the logic is too linear and deliberate to be Word Salad.
