[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appletree is only PK. Peabody is part of a cluster with Watkins, so Peabody has PK3-K and Watkins has grades 1-5. Maury is the most coveted school on the Hill at this point, probably, but L-T has been surging in popularity and is pretty coveted too. Brent is the other most coveted school but they are in a swing space still next year in Columbia Heights. L-T currently has the best middle school feed of the three and Brent has the worst of the three.

If you would prefer Maury to L-T and you move to Maury boundary then you will have to go somewhere else for PK4. But then you would automatically get in for K. And your older child would pull your younger child in for PK due to sibling preference.

Payne is also on the rise; they were even named a Blue Ribbon school last year. And Chisolm just moved to 100% Spanish dual language, which might appeal to some.

Also a school's middle school feed can make an impact on upper grade retention/academics/social dynamics as people start leaving early to secure a "good" middle school option. In general I'd say people see Stuart-Hobson as most desirable, Eliot-Hine second and rapidly closing the gap with Stuart-Hobson, and Jefferson a distant third. But many won't seriously consider any of these schools and will decamp for suburbs, privates, or charters regardless.[/quote]
