[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have to band together to go to Watkins first in the case of SH.  Having a divide between Peabody and Watkins makes a lot of people stop.[/quote]

That's non-sense! Stuart-Hobson is an excellent school (I've got kids there and can attest to that) but for Hilleast and areas around Maury and Tyler etc. Eliot-Hine is not only more convenient but also has more to offer in the mid-term and most certainly in the long run. Stuart-Hobson is not meant to grow much beyond 400. And it's neither Maury nor Brent's job to shore up Watkins. Watkins will have to (and can) take care of that.[/quote]

Don't blamer the poster. The parents of Brent and Peabody and Maury don't realize there are other schools on the Hill. Of course, when the newly modernized SH is done and is being fed by up and coming feeders of JO, LT and P/W they might notice. Do the Brent parents really think their kids can carry their Jefferson all by themselves? [/quote]

Aren't you really this delusional?  Brent parents are all-too-well aware that SH is on the Hill and that has more than its fair share of middle schoolers from Wards 7 and 8.  After all, SH is only 20 percent IB, and yet Kaya Henderson made clear to Brent families that there wouldn't be enough room for more high-SEs students who live on the Hill.  Also, in case you weren't aware, no family IB for Brent has ever enrolled at Jefferson in at least the past decade.  This isn't going to chase anytime soon, particularly as Bowser has now pulled the modernization funds that were to be spent in 2016.  In any event, a few Brent students who don't get into a charter or another option won't be enought to offset the students who aren't capable of being educated at Amidon and Tyler.  Get back to us when JO Wilson is on par with Brent and a critical mass of IB families are staying at LT past 1st Grade.[/quote]
