[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most Hill families will come to feel pretty comfortable with the middle school options.  Of course, it will be a lottery to get into Latin or Basis, or Stuart Hobson if you are not coming from Watkins or aren't in bounds.  But all of these are good options and I think it will shake out like the prek/ k application process.  Families may be on a wait list initially but will be accepted by one of the 3 schools by the time school starts.  [/quote]

I think you are right. Middle School for graduates of Hill elementary schools will be ok and more charters will open to meet the demand if the others fill.

It is just a shame that DCPS won't do what it takes to retain those families for the neighborhood middle schools.  They are gutless and shortsighted and bolstered by some Hill residents who would prefer to leave the system than mess with the status quo. Thanks a lot.

Maybe once the numbers are there, powers that be will get a clue. In the meantime, there is a deep groove being worn to charters and privates after 4th or 5th grade and it will be hard to get folks out of these grooves for a local middle school.[/quote]
