[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jefferson won't become a "desirable" school for parents on the hill until there are more white kids going there.[/quote]

or it gets transplanted to the actual Hill

look -- Eliot Hine and Stuart Hobson don't get a lot of love from the Hill, but those are the schools Hill families are working towards improving because they are both on the Hill (and not 2.5 miles from our homes).  The demographics of EH and SH are crystal clear in calling out BS on your theory on Jefferson needing white kids.[/quote]

Stop painting with such a broad brush.  "Hill families" are Balkanized.  Some Maury parents have been working to improve Eliot-Hine.  Cluster (Peabody/Watkins) families are working to improve Stuart-Hobson.  Some parents with younger kids at Brent have started working with the principal at Jefferson.  I seem to recall hearing about a single white kid moving from Maury to EH in the past year or two.  Am I wrong?  [/quote]

There is a white, middle class, student at E-H who went there from Maury. S/he seems very happy.[/quote]
