[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SH boundary is tiny.

+1 -- and it has to be by design.  If DCPS wants feeders it can only open so many non-feeder seats by right.  Thus SH is only a neighborhood school as much as the feeders are neighborhood schools . . . which is really not so much the case with Wilson, LT and Watkins.[/quote]

Ok, so I must be confused.  I thought if you lived in the cluster boundaries, you could go to SH.  Does this mean if I didn't send my kid to Watkins (I sent him to SwS instead) even though I live at an address in the cluster, I don't get in?[/quote]

That's generally correct, but it depends on where you live.  There's a small overlap between Watkins and SH boundaries, but it's not a given.  You could also live within proximity, but that' less likely at the SH boundary is almost pretty much a square with SH in the middle.  If you live in the overlap, you can attend SH by right (regardless of ES feeder), otherwise you need to feed from Wilson, LT, or Watkins[/quote]
