[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Watkins and SH were doing as well as supporters claim, most of the OOB students who lottery in would be from the Hill.  They aren't, not by a long shot, not even in K.

What separates Watkins from Maury, Brent, SWS and Cap Hill Montessori is neighborhood buy-in, weak vs. strong.  The issue should be studied, not whitewashed with boosters trilling " Whoo hoo, we're up to 30 percent boundary this year!!"

Watkins has needed more than 3 decades to attract a lower % of neighborhood kids than Maury did between 2012 and this year.  Comparative newcomer Mundo Verde is thought to support a student body that's more than half Hill kids.

Hill families have held sway over SWS and CHML due to sibling priority but the seats that open to citywide enrollment are just that.  it has nothing to do with neighborhood and everything to do with the schools and manageable commute.[/quote]

Well sibling preference has also [b]allowed Hill families to take the lion's share of seats at Latin[/b], which is not an easy commute or in the neighborhood. [/quote]

Not what data says!!!  [/quote]

Look at the Latin MS map vs the HS map. page 124 and 125 https://dcpcsb.egnyte.com/dl/6GYs34BeMM[/quote]
