[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent parent here.  I am curiois abot the pitch to attemd SH.  Nothing I have learned about the school, including test scores evidencing 40 percent non-proficiency and 6 out of 10 students being FARMs eligible, would entice me to jump through the hoop of sending DC to Watkins for 5th Grade and then onto SH.  So long as BASIS and Latin can effectively accommodate the Brent cohort, this play by the Cluster will be DOA.[/quote]

Sounds like you're a little out of the loop. Not a problem, as I'm sure others will cherish the spot you're not going to take up through that shady scheme. Still, and not to talk you out of it but rather for those who are taking a closer look, Stuart-Hobson has a number of things going for it that neither Basis nor Latin can match: location, robust honors program in all cores subjects, individualized schedules with numerous electives that allow for specializations in fine arts, liberal arts, and STEM, free extended school until 4 or 6, versatile sports program, lasting (and newly expanding) museum partnerships, and, last but not least, the [b]highest rate of kids getting into application high schools[/b].

Is this because no one will go to Eastern? Higher rate than all the other non-Wilson feeding middle schools, like EH Kramer and Sousa? Not much to brag about there. Higher even than students coming from Latin or BASIS (though not many currently leave from Latin and BASIS isn't fully ripe yet)? [/quote]
