[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boundary is too big and weirdly shaped. Most people within the boundary are closer to another school on the Hill, so they go there instead. Watkins then becomes a school for Ward 7 and 8.[/quote] +1. On the blocks converging around 7th & Maryland, nearly everyone goes to L-T despite being zoned for Watkins. They all get proximity preference so can get in by PK4 or K if they want to and most families do these days. L-T is about 5 blocks straight down 7th (older kids can commute alone) vs Watkins being virtually on the other side of the Hill. Most kids go to Peabody for PK3 (can't get into L-T then even with older siblings typically) and then change to L-T by 1st at the latest.[/quote]
