[quote=Anonymous]The closing Maury idea is CRAZY; it's a functional school.  The test scores are about to go up.  Families are going to start staying through 5th (or at least 4th) in larger #s than stay at Watkins.

I kind of agree with the idea of shifting SH to the EH space.  The only problem is - say right now 25% of SH is middle class (AA and white together), what if we lost half of them in the move?  I don't want SH to implode because the combining idea looks good on paper.

The biggest single problem for me with EH right now is that I fear it's dangerous.  I can't do danger with my kid.  I haven't been convinced it's not.  I'm actually not that afraid of the what happens in the blocks around the school - that is where I live and I'm fine with it.  I'm afraid of knife fights in the school.  I probably need to spend more time over there to form better first hand opinions- although the meetings I've been told about were at like 5:30 in the afternoon which isn't doable for me.  I'm not sure what bringing honors classes would do for the danger element.  Jefferson feels far to me - it's not on the Hill.  EH and SH are at least in my neighborhood - they've got that.
