[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watkins lost 20 5th graders to Basis, Latin, better DCPS that feed to Deal, parochials and private. Mainly BASIS, though. No faith in S-H. No real public HS option.[/quote] If we could be guarnteed space in Basis, Latin, or Deal, we wouldn't real care about our neighborhood MS feeder. The Hill families have no viable neighborhood MS option, and play the same game for MS spaces as the rest of the city. Basis is closest geographically and most conveniently located for many Hill families. The charters have figured out how to skim students from DCPS by 5th grade intake a year ahead of 6th grade for DCPS MS. DCPS is a total dinosaur organizationally (big dumb extinct ones, not the cool ones with big teeth) in that they allow this to happen. However much Hill families like their neighborhood ES options, relatively few stay to complete 5th grade and feed into a neighborhood MS.[/quote]
