[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure where you're getting information about the percentage of in-boundary students, but the answer is that there are lots of OOB kids at schools that feed to Hardy and S-H. Those kids get preference to the middle schools just as IB kids in the feeder pattern do.[/quote]

Ok, that doesn't make sense either.  For example, Peabody is very difficult to get into for PK3 and PK4, even for in boundary.  Peabody then offered 0 seats for K last year in the lottery.  Watkins offered 3 seats grade 1, 0  seats grade 2, 0 seats grade 3, 0 seats grade 4, and 0 seats grade 5.  Where are out of boundary students entering Peabody/Watkins?

I'm sure I'm stupid, just wondering what is happening?  Is the Stuart-Hobson boundary different than the boundaries of the schools that are in the feeder pattern for it?

Here are DCPS lottery results data: http://enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/61
Here is the demographic data for Stuart Hobson reporting 31% in-boundary: http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Stuart-Hobson+Middle+School+(Capitol+Hill+Cluster)
Here is the demographic data for Watkins reporting 34% in-boundary http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/333
