[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. The real controversy is that DCPS refused to plant the seeds of a strong pan-Ward 6 middle school when it could have, 20-25 years ago.

With a Deal type middle school EotP feeding into a J-R type high school, we could have largely kept DCPS elementary school cohorts together, avoided the charter shuffle, stayed home, sent the kids off to school on their bikes from 6th-12th and enjoyed life more.

As for OP wanting the Peer Group not the Boot Camp, Stuart Hobson is your best EotP.  Not a great bet, but your best if you don't crack BASIS or do but reject the option.[/quote]

S-H is actually somewhat competitive to lottery into OOB.

6th grade S-H lottery
SY22-23 - 86% of applicants (not initially matched with a school ranked higher) were offered a seat by October
SY23-24 - 58% offered a seat by October
SY24-25 - 40% offered a seat by October

That's tough odds for Capitol Hill families OOB for S-H, and I think creates stronger incentives for people to try to settle the MS decision by 5th.[/quote]
