[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stuart Hobson may be the shiniest toy but its low capacity presents some inherent limitations.  The only change variable is the composition of students coming from Watkins, LT, and JO Wilson and that leave out a large chunk of Hill families.  It's comparable to Hardy in that regard and doesn't scale well with comprehensive middle schools. SH has 1/2 the capacity of either EH or Jefferson.

In hindsight it would have made more sense to sell it off before renovating and use the windfall to pump up Eliot Hine as a school with the capacity for comprehensive MS.  That ship has long since sailed.[/quote]

Brent families crack me up! Let me get this straight, EH is too far for your kids so your solution is to close SH and send the kids at LT and JO way farther away than your snowflakes have to travel to EH? Wait, I forgot, the center of the educational universe is Brent and nothing else matters. [/quote]

Um... I don't think that's what this person said. They said it had the smallest capacity of the 3 MSs that serve neighborhoods on the Hill. Many people think over capacity is one of the issues facing these schools so it would have made sense to close the smallest school and use that money to fix the 2 bigger schools. Not really unreasonable but as the poster said, it won't happen.[/quote]
