[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the idea is that feeding sws, Brent and Maury to a common middle school ( along with other elementaries ) is gerrymandering.

[b]However the biggest gerrymander EVER is the weird[/b], diagonal swath across Capitol Hill that formed the Capitol Hill Cluster School SO THAT people like pp could AVOID going to middle school with anyone other than Watkins graduates.  J.O. Wilson and LT were added as feeder schools in only the last 5-6 years.   This is what PP and his/her kids benefited from and now enrages him/her about others

Hyperbole much?  The boundary travels east/west to accomodate ECE at Peabody.  If Peabody went away you'd see some of its boundary absorbed by Brent, Ludlow Taylor and Watkins.  As it stands, K is compulsory and children IB for Watkins require an IB K option.

The weider boundary is the eastern portion of Watkins which surgically carves itself around Payne[/quote]

No, the whole boundary is a hot mess.

-Inbounds for the cluster [/quote]

But a Clevland Park parent IB for Eaton is just supposed to swallow that while Shepherd and Bancroft keep their Deal feed

[b]Got -- Cluster is the snowflake of DCPS boundaries[/b][/quote]

And what makes the Cluster an extra-special snowflake, is that so much of the constituency is in Ward 9.[/quote]
