[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean the cluster way is a success? You know that not everyone on the hill is able to get into the cluster, right? The cluster excludes Brent, Maury, etc. neighborhoods. So if you don't live in Cluster area, what are you supposed to do? Brent parents lobbied quite hard a few years ago for cluster to allow Brent into the cluster and cluster shut out Brent. Not sure why-- possibly because at that time Brent was predominently OOB and poor. anyway, how is the cluster a success since so few cluster kids actually end up at S-H? Wasn't that the whole point of the cluster starting up 20 so agos?-- to keep S-H as a real Hill neighborhood middle school option? What percent of S-H students actually live in boundary? And of those, how many go on to Eastern? Brent is certainly not perfect (and the statements here that equate white with bright make me cringe) but I don't see that the cluster as any more successful as a school option. [/quote]
