[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't fix under enrollment at Brookland so long as it feeds to Dunbar.

It's a sysiphean task.

It is a huge task but it can work.  Stuart-Hobson feeds to Eastern but parents have made a lot of progress there in the last 20 years.[/quote]

Thanks, but I actually was half serious.  Parents at the feeder schools are involved early, and if you have three kids you could have one in middle schooler for 6 years or more.  When I worked on the Hill in my early 20s, my co-workers who had kids would tell me about the schools and it was clear that they understood that without a good middle school, the elementary schools would stall out.  That was 15 years ago and I can see it's happening just like they said.  The positive feedback loop between improving elementaries and desirable middle school is starting to close.  I wish it were faster, but I cannot deny that progress is being made.  After Hardy, Stuart-Hobson is the next domino to fall.  After that, I don't know, maybe MacFarland or Eliot-Hine?[/quote]
