[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just isn't true that "a large number" of Hill families move from Peabody to Watkins, though this was the case a decade ago.

Peabody is two-thirds in-boundary and half white, while Watkins is not even 20 IB% and white.   Moreover, the percentage of in-boundary kids at Stuart Hobson has dipped several years running, bringing it down to around 15% from a third a decade ago.

The hot new charter for Hill families is really likely to be DC Global in NW, which starts in 6th grade.

Eastern HS is 0% white in a catchment area that's two-thirds white.

It is called Washington Global and it is in SW actually. [/quote]

What do you think? That only the riff raff live in SW? :roll:

I may start a different thread because NO One is talking about Washington Global and I am really curious if they got anyone enrolled. They were spending a lot of time recuiting in the Safeway at the waterfront metro station.   If they want to compete with BAsis and Latin for high achieving and high SES families, they need a different strategy. Were they doing any recruitment on the Hill?  I hope its successfuly but I Honestly don' think it will have the rigor of a Basis.  Maybe a bunch of parents who work in Lenfant will send their kids their due to convenience.[/quote][/quote]
