[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for the record, SWS is not in that boat. The waitlist remains super long and [b]neighborhood people choose it over other highly sought after schools.[/b] [/quote]

Not really. In-boundary Cap Hill parents almost always choose Brent (at least before this school year/the demolition), Maury and, increasingly, Ludlow and Payne, over SWS. Cluster parents tend to go with SWS over Peabody if they get a spot, true, mainly because Watkins continues to struggle.  Same with Miner and JO Wilson parents.[/quote]

Looking at the enrollments by boundary data doesn't give you a full picture because they don't report when fewer than 10 students attend a given school, but it's still pretty interesting for SWS. For SY19-20 through SY24-25:

Brent never had 10 or more students at SWS.

At its highest, Maury had 17 in SY20-21, but dropped below 10 in SY24-25.

LT has consistently had between 41-44 at SWS. 35 in SY21-22.

Payne had 29 in SY19-20. That number has slowly but steadily dropped to 22 in SY24-25.

Peabody has consistently had between 40-42. Much lower numbers in SY19-20 and SY24-25 but from another thread I'm fairly confident it's a data issue related to how the Peabody/Watkins boundary is defined.

JO has consistently had between 21-28 at SWS. SY24-25 had 32 but thinking that's just a blip related to renovation.

Miner has consistently had between 26-32 at SWS. 23 in SY21-22.

Wheatley has climbed steadily from 11 in SY21-22 to 18 in SY24-25.

Other schools that have had up to 10-12 students over multiple years: Amidon-Bowen, Bunker Hill, Borroughs, Langdon.[/quote]
