[quote=Anonymous]Bottom line, I am glad that Stuart Hobson is providing a decent, though not great, middle school education to students from areas of the city where the middle schools are much worse. I am also glad the Jefferson Academy and Eliot-Hine are slowly, maybe improving and serving the students there better than a few years ago. However, it remains simply too bad that the very large majority of the in-boundary 4th graders who come up through the feeder schools in Ward 6 are heading away from the DCPS middle schools in their neighborhood. It's not good for the school system or our neighborhood that those 10-13 year olds are heading private, charter or to Hardy and Deal or worse yet moving away. Once gone, they won't come back for high school very easily. We need to come together as a community to solve this issue. We need to solicit political leadership to help us to do that. The status quo is not good enough. It's a waste of serious potential. [/quote]
