[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]while not on the hill, the circulator does a loop that runs from eastern market down barracks row through navy yard directly to jefferson.  jefferson is directly across the street from the wharf development.  it would be 100x better if there were still a centrally located hill middle school at the old hine junior high school on pennsylvania or something like that.  but im not sure that everyone at brent and tyler is much closer to hobson or elliot hine than to jefferson.  basis despite being an easy commute from the hill has some quirks where it may not be for everyone.  the other desirable options are pretty far away.[/quote]

I mean, Brent is about twice as close to SH as it is to Jefferson and Tyler is 1/2 a mile closer to SH than Jefferson. For most Brent families, SH is a doable commute on foot, whereas Jefferson is not, for multiple reasons. Probably Tyler families wouldn't commute on foot to SH, but it's right en route to Union Station and is easily doable on a bike even for the most novice rider.

All that aside, I was actually comparing the proximity of SH to its Hill schools/IB residents and Jefferson to its Hill schools/IB residents. There's no comparison distance/commute-wise. That said, Jefferson is obviously convenient to some of its IB and everything is not about the Hill. It's just that Hill buy-in is what would make the school more attractive to UMC families. SH has the advantage of being very convenient to most of its IB.[/quote]
