[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please! The school is 85% FARMS and 80% OOB.  Do what you want with the curriculum.  Without a test-in magnet program there, the largely upper-middle-class hill population can only ignore the place.  The neighborhood in the immediate vicinity has far too much low-income housing to draw in families from the affluent West Hill.  There are enough bad middle schools to go around.  No point in bothering.  No brainer.

Thanks for not being PC!  Who in their right mind wants their child to attend a school where 80% of the population is FARMS and out of boundary?   However, no one wants to admit that a predominately black school with improverished students are the reasons they ignore Hine or the many other deplorable  schools in Washington DC.    People will make up all types of PC excuses instead of being honest.    I'm black and there is no way in Hell I will send my children to Hine.   There are reasons why parents flock to Deal, parochial, or private schools in DC.   Even parents from non-affluent communities will prefer Deal over Hine.  Affluent parents on The Hill have other options and Hine surely isn't one of them.
