Eliot-Hines Middle School

[Anonymous]

Bored much? Why don't you look up test scores if that's of interest and if you have time on your hand? Otherwise I can't help but think you just can't bear the thought that Word Salad has nothing juicy to comment on.

Eliot-Hine sent many of the 8th graders to the application schools and thus the application schools are doing phenomenal on the DC CAS. Then those who did not attend and application school went to Eastern and what happened? Eastern did extremely well on the DC CAS and it is all good in the neighborhood.

I am not sure what other middle-school has an IB interestes but the only high-schools that have active IB programs are Banneker and Wilson. Eastern is on the horizon to incorporate IB but it would take more than IB to have my child enter into Eastern now and forever more.
.

Quick note- Wilson does not have an IB Diploma Programme. Eastern is fully credentialed for the IB Diploma programme, making the the only comprehensive DCPS high school to offer IB. Both Jefferson and Eliot-Hine feed into Eastern, ultimately supporting an IB continuum in grades 6-12.

Parent orientation is tonight at Eastern, stop on by and see what we offer.

Sally - I live in a neighborhood that is 70% African American. I moved from across the country to raise a family here. My kids are growing up in a radically different environment than I did. Most people I grew up with are a lot more conservative in what they've done with their lives. I don't even have kids old enough to send to Eliot Hine or Eastern, but I'd really like to do it as they get older.

What about you? Are you the minority where you live? Did you choose to live here, or did you end up here by default because you are from here? Are you moving out of your comfort zone and raising kids in an environment totally different than the one you were raised in?

In the whole country are you a minority or a majority? What do you want a medal? Who care, enjoy your neighborhood or leave?

This person is absolutely not an Eastern teacher, nor has any true affiliation with Eastern (not parent, alumni, or otherwise), outside of being an Eastern "supporter."

A little uptight 22:58, stay calm and relax. Explaining exposes insecurities.

So unless EH (and its feeders) gets their act together the Cluster will roll over everyone leaving all the non-Cluster children without a viable MS option.

And my favorite part is that that most pro-cluster anti-charter families do not send their teens to Eastern. "Neighborhood schools are so important." Hypocrites.

I was around back in 2012 for those conversations and I did not find them persuasive because they ignored the fact that SH was working somewhat while EH was not. We lost the MS lottery and are now trying to figure out what to do so I'm not disinterested in a MS solution. But you can't take away something that is working (albeit somewhat) in the hopes of something working out down the road - there are immediate families that are counting on that already existing option. And the years between 2012 and now saw the vast majority of CH MS students going to Latin and BASIS - no one is going to buy that those families would have opted for EH instead.

Why should they? HS has better options including application schools. Older kids have greater mobility and the need to attend school matter less for a teenager than a young child. The Cluster ends in 8th grade not 12th.

* Ward Six has capacity for 2,210 students in three middle schools.
* Ward Six middle schools use 45% of their capacity.
* Ward Six has 991 total students enrolled.
* Ward Six has 335 in-bounds students.
* Ward Six students fill 15% of the Ward Six middle school capacity.
* Most Ward Six middle school students reside outside Ward Six.
* All data w/o Shaw MS.

Eliot Hine and Jefferson have 300 students in buildings with capacity for 800 students. Stuart Hobson is enrolled near capacity.

Stuart Hobson is the second best middle school out of 14 in DCPS at 67% proficient. Jefferson and Eliot Hine are stronger than most middle schools, nonetheless under 50% proficient.

SH is up for phase one modernization in 2012. Jefferson in 2013, and EH in 2014. Each school is budgeted ~$15 million for a phase one modernization, yet it is unlikely Ward Six will get $30-$40 million combined.

Ward Six elementary schools have gained enrollment recently, but those gains are not being realized in Ward Six middle schools. Most Ward Six elementary students do not attend Ward Six middle schools.

Yeah, cuz these are ghetto schools with next to no IB participation. Leave the neighborhood or go private, or teach your kid karate.

Stop talking about this dump, you'll bring out Word Salad and then no one will know which end is up.
