I await this revelation. The way I've heard it, is that Eaton & Hearst are OOB escape-schools for families in other wards. No-one who can afford to live in those catchment areas, would even consider public school, at least not the local DCPS. Not so sure about either Murch or Lafayette, but that whole "open school" 70s thing is even stupider today then it was then. Janney might as well be in Rockthesda.


With due respect, you don't know what you're talking about. We live in the John Eaton district (Cleveland Park) and chose to enroll there. Now our children are at an independent secondary school. A number of other Cleveland Parkers send their kids to Eaton also. We were generally quite happy with the education at Eaton.


So happy there, that you left?



We stayed at Eaton all the way through "graduation" so, yes, we were happy with Eaton.

Maybe they are turned away because pre-k classes are smaller and usually there are fewer pre-k students than children in older grades.

Or parents will send their kids to murch for pre-k but might choose private/parochial school for their kid as they get older.
