How can that be when my impression of Watkins and the Cluster School wars from 2006 indicate that no one inbounds would ever attend or want to attend Watkins??? :D [/quote]

Agreed.  My impression from 1999 was that Capitol Hill was a war zone and no one in their right mind would want to buy a house there.  Parents discussing sending their snowflakes to an inbound school anywhere on the Hill just boggles the mind. ;)[/quote]

Your impression would be inaccurate and uninformed.  Sure, parts of what some might consider to be "Capitol Hill" suffered from high crime, particularly those neighborhoods east of Lincoln Park.  And yet, other area of the Hill, including those to the west of Lincoln Park and south of Stanton Park, were quite sought after.  There are a number of students at our IB elementary school whose parents were themselves raised on the Hill in the 70s-80s.  Most attended private schools.  [/quote]
