[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some families can afford a private for HS, but not for MS and HS.

Some Hill families are prepared to rent in the burbs just for HS, with parents returning to their Hill house as empty nesters.

Some SH students test into Walls and/or Banneker.  DCPS seems to give preferential treatment in admissions to Walls to 8th graders in DCPS programs, particularly coming from SH.  Loyalty to DCPS tends to be rewarded when applying to selective high schools in the system.[/quote]

Neither Walls nor Banneker (nor DE) are guaranteed and Walls is not the school it used to be. What is your point PP? We should just ignore the situation at Eastern?[/quote]

I'm not advocating for any approach to MS. We're hoping to get off the BASIS WL by the start of school.  That said, I know a number of Hill families who've made the SH work over the years. Some of these kids have gone on to highly competitive colleges, e.g. Brown, Penn, Georgetown.

What else can we do but ignore the dead-ended situation at Eastern?[/quote]
