[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What schools feed to SH (Watkins, and?)?  And, how many kids (total) in those fifth grade classes vs. total number of kids in SH 6th grade class, i.e., is the SH 6th grade class completely full with kids from current feeders, or is the SH 6th grade class half filled by feeders, then the other half filled by lottery?  If the latter, it is pretty ridiculous that other nearby elementaries, e.g., Brent and Maury, don't feed into SH.[/quote]

Three schools feed to SH:
Watkins, Ludlow Taylor, and JO Wilson

In 2011-12, those schools enrolled the following # of 5th graders:  87, 32, 27 = 146 students

SH 6th grade for 2012-13 has about 145 students enrolled, and will have 5 sections of 6th grade.  So 6th grade classes will have close to 30 students.

The current designated feeders essentially fill up SH.  If you want to have fewer OOB students at SH, you have to have fewer OOB at Watkins, LT, and JO Wilson.  To do that, you have to close and consolidate in bounds Ward 6 students into fewer elementary schools.  Many of the Hill elementary schools are 50% or more OOB students.
