Whether the scores are the highest is another matter, but for a certain subset of parents, having a school that is basically a free private, with a well-rounded classical education (which you cannot find even at local privates) is incredibly appealing.
Free private? That's an overstatement. It's popular come lottery time because the middle school options in the city are so dire. Being the better of bottom of barrel options does not automatically give one cache and certainly does not make it on par with DC private schools.

if OP is thinking about shifting her kids from IT to YY then they aren't old enough for Latin, so we can leave that out of the discussion.

Anyone who thinks Latin resembles a private school in any way has clearly never attended a private school.

My son loves Latin but I agree, it's a bit culty.

Just getting out front before someone suggests Latin—my Hispanic DD found the place racist and classist and quite horrible. Others have liked it. But I’ve found the place weird, culty, and unpleasant.
