[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So what are they doing at Deal that they are not doing at Stuart Hobson?[/b][/quote]

Simple. Five overwhelmingly UMC DCPS elementary schools feed into a single middle school in Upper NW.

Meanwhile, down here on Cap Hill, half a dozen predominantly UMC DCPS elementary schools feed into several different middle schools.  Although the concept of the creation of a pan Ward 6 middle school enjoyed broad local support during the 2014 DCPS boundary and feeder review, the idea went nowhere.

*Maury and SWS feed into Eliot-Hine
*Brent and Van Ness feed into Jefferson Academy
*Ludlow-Taylor and Watkins feed into Stuart Hobson

Under this arrangement, no predominantly UMC middle school emerges, so no critical mass of in-boundary students materializes at any one school. The result is that most neighborhood families in a strongly UMC neighborhood go with alternatives for middle school - privates, BASIS, Washington Latin and other charters, move away.
