[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I'm finally understanding the DCPS rationale on CH middle schools. I think they thought that a guaranteed feed from LT and JO Wilson would make neighborhood kids attend those schools to get access to SH. But there are a few problems with the theory - 1) charters; 2) 5-7 years is a long time if you believe the elementary school does not work for your kid; 3) it is relatively easy to get into Watkins for 5th grade; and 3) SH is NOT Deal. It's just not. [/quote] SH can't be Deal because of it's small size and limits caused by funding models. It can't be a comprehensive Middle School. That's why some people would like to see it made into a specialized middle school/program without feeders and a large facility like Eliot Hine made into the midle school that absorbs all Capitol Hill ( Ward 6? ) feeders and creates a comprehensive middle school like Deal[/quote]
