[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boundary is too big and weirdly shaped. Most people within the boundary are closer to another school on the Hill, so they go there instead. Watkins then becomes a school for Ward 7 and 8.[/quote] This. We are zoned for LT, but less than two blocks away, some are zoned for Watkins. A 2nd grader can't walk all the way there! Also, having siblings in different buildings is awful. They need to redraw the boundaries Pronto.[/quote] Well having siblings in different buildings is fine if they are near each other, which is why you see quite a few families that lottery into L-T with proximity preference for 1st but their younger sibling may finish out at least PK at Peabody. The commute between those schools is super easy -- it's just a few blocks and one parent could do it within the drop off window, on foot. That's not possible for Peabody and Watkins, I don't understand why that's ever been tolerated, to be honest.[/quote]
