I agree with the Lafayette piece. Janey too.

We are in Key district. I am estimating, but by 3rd grade I’d guess 50% are in private. Same with Mann.

The poor ones.

I think Ross + Capitol Hill is right for this, for elementary school. But lots of Ross families go private for middle and high school.

Definitely > 75% at Stoddert in Glover Park.

We’re in Adam Morgan. There’s a parade of kids walking to and from both Oyster campuses every day. Most kids go on to J-R, but I know some at privates and the selective high schools.

I think across the board, it is still close to 75% - but there will be families that decide they need something else for their kid so that by the time they get to 5th grade, classmates are now at .... NCS, Holton, Blessed Sacrament, Lab, Siena, Latin and BASIS

Thanks for this. I figured many people off for middle school, so just looking for anecdotal “data” on which neighborhoods are swing heavily public in the ES years.

If you are looking for where to move -
invest a few days in driving around these neighborhoods when school starts. You will see tons of kids walking from 4+ blocks away.

For schools that feed into Deal, I would say our experience is that most classmates continue to Deal who made it to 5th grade.
For 1 child's class, 2 moved to MD, 5 went to private, 3 moved further away.
As much as you think there is a lot of movement to private, there are just not that many spaces.

The schools picture is three slices. WOTP, no charters, EOTP not EOTR, lots of charters, lots of DCPS, especial bilingual charters. EOTR massive charter growth and anemic DCPS.

Upper Caucasia is not a new reference, though it is funny. https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/233552/upper-caucasia/

When we lived in CCDC and our kids were school age, the majority of families we knew sent their kids to private. Out of the houses on our block, two went to Lafayette. We had three families at Blessed Sacrament, one at Beauvoir and one at NPS.

Your anecdote is not even remotely helpful without any context. Did your kids go to Lafayette? If they did and the "majority of the people you knew went to private" that would be really odd.

We go to church in NW. school attached to the church. Our kids are at an IB DCPS. Of about 25-30 kids in my daughter’s class, maybe 20 live in DC. There’s one other DCPS family.

DP. Why would it be odd?

Why do you think?

Of the 17 ES-age kids on our street, 10 go to the IB public, one goes to a public charter, and 6 go private.

Ludlow-Taylor seems to be this.
