[quote=Anonymous]Over the decades we were constantly hearing on how the cluster schools are so far in advance with their theories on how to educate DCPS children.  It evolved all of sudden that the cluster schools became their own hybrid school district.  You would hear the plight or progress of West of the park schools, East of the River schools, Cluster Schools and Charter Schools.  So my reference was more reflective of the conversations.

See, neighborhood schools will always lose out to boundary and feeder schools.  Capitol Hill schools are just what they are a cluster of schools from surrounding neighborhoods.  When you start to look at the boundaries and feeder patterns; that is when it becomes a NIMBY fortress and it is easier to keep the undesirable out

As for those who go on to attend Eastern, that was dispeled a long-time ago.  The principal then was Ralph Neal didn't want anything to do with the Cluster.  He respected it but he had his own agenda for Eastern, which made it a premier school at one time.

The white with bright statement is priceless. I am telling you put it on a tee-shirt and it will sell out in minutes.[/quote]
