[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's far from upper NW, but there are metros and buses. And from the Hill, it's great: a 20-minute direct bus ride from Brent; probably an equal or easier commute than Latin, Basis, or Hardy. I would definitely consider it if my kid got in, and would love for it to have a curriculum aligned in a way that helped kids prepare for the Banneker/SWW/McKinley Tech application process.[/quote]

Why would DCPS care about the Hill? They gave a ton of money to SH already (and it offers walk-on "honors" classes) and expect everyone else to go to underenrolled EH. It would be a third siphon besides Latin and BASIS. [/quote]

This is such a foolish line of reasoning.  Are you suggesting it should be even harder to access for EOTR?  Placing in in Ward 7 instead of WOTR would provide some balance and serve the pockets of advanced students EOTR.

Stuart Hobson is one of 3 schools and it offers minimal spots via lottery.  The OOB population enters in early ES and stays.  DCPS wastes money all over the place, but far less in Wards 7 & 8 where this would be located.[/quote]
