[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No demographic or in-boundary-out of boundary info on the DCPS school profiles right now, which must mean that they're updating the site.  Look again in a week or two.  It's common knowledge on the Hill that the SH student body is around 80% OOB.  The % may have dropped a tad this year, to the high 70s or even 75% - too early to tell.

You can also go on the School Digger.com site and click Stuart Hobson and Students to track demographic changes at the school in the last 20 years.  Changes are a slow moving train.  There were more in-boundary kids at Hobson when I moved to the Hill 15 years ago than now (partly because 5th grade was moved out of SH to Watkins, also because of increasingly untenable leadership challenges brought by the one principal for three Cap Cluster schools arrangement, which ended last year). [/quote]

Funny how lots of people forget that OOB can mean people who are on the Hill.  If your kid, for example, lives within the Brent or Maury boundaries and goes to S-H, your kid is OOB.  [/quote]

Students living inbound for Brent and Maury aren't getting into SH.  Fail.[/quote]

+1 - the OOB kids are coming from Watkins, JO and Ludlow. And nobody IB for Brent and Maury are sending their kids there. [/quote]

That's not quite true.  There are longtime IB Brent and Maury families with kids attending SH.  There are families that moved in-boundary for SH (to bigger houses) along the way, killing two birds with one stone.  Residency on the Hill is more fluid that relative newcomers tend to understand.
