Having your 4th and 1st grader in Watkins will be a great way to integrate in the neighborhood. Despite what naysayers claim, there are lots of families from the immediate Hill, even if OOB, that are in the Cluster.  There are some parents who immediately see AA children and assume OOB (or Maryland). Forget about what they say about IB from[b] Kentucky Courts[/b] or proximity from Potomac Gardens children. I have an AA child (but not AA myself). One time a parent (several years ago) looked into DC's classroom (maybe on buddy day from Peabody) and said to me "Are there any IB kids here?" (in a doubtful tone, IMHO). Yes, my DC and two other kids who are IB and also AA were sitting at the tables.

Don't worry, you will be pleasantly surprised.[/quote]

Kentucky Courts is almost entirely senior living (tower at PG is too).    Even if they weren't, kids living there are entitled to same public education as anyone else.  That said Tyler has more kids enrolled from PG and nearby Hopkins.  Boundary snobbery is one of the dumbest persistent boogeyman arguments against Watkins[/quote]

KC grandparents have children IB for Watkins and consistently have for many years. My kids are 4 years apart and both had friends/classmates from both KC and PG. Great kids but there is still this contingent of IB Cluster families who "forget" about these kids being IB or having proximity preference (granted PG is IB for Tyler so more are there).[/quote]
