[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Improving,[b] right, but, as has been said[/b], turning SH into a Deal, or even a Hardy, is a 10-20 year project without Brent, Maury and SWS when it could have been a 3-5 year project.

Many of us on the Hill are fed up with losing dear friends to the burbs because Hill schools aren't attractive to most in-boundary families after elementary. Many of us feel that DCPS made a terrible mistake four years ago in refusing to respond to high local demand for a change in the Ward 6 middle school elementary-to-middle school feed situation.

I'm in-bounds for SH and won't enroll my child in a couple years on current trends, like most of our friends. Our children are well-behaved students who easily score 5s on both PARCC sections.  Arguably, SH won't be better off without us.

Christ, it's been said by YOU about 1000 times on any SH related post.  Give it a rest.

We got it -- you're going elsewhere.  From your condescending tone alone I can promise you that you would not be missed at SH.[/quote]

NP here and this is a real problem. You have tons of high SES parents IB for Hill schools opting out of DCPS because the middle school situation is a mess on the Hill. Some of those families are moving but [b]many more are going to charters[/b]. DCPS could easily fix this by adjusting the feeder patterns and it’s so stupid that they refuse to do it. [/quote]

Tell us more!!! What are these magical charters that "many more" are fleeing towards? Latin? How many non-sibling spots are being filled in 5th? And do you think you are the only MS feeders getting in? (Actually, based on the level of self interest in your post, you probably do). And...what else? Basis? Basis works all the way through their wait lists; guild is off the lily.

You remind me of a preteen who is unhappy with their limited options and, instead of addressing them as an adult, you just lash out at everyone else with fanciful tales and juvenile anger. You don't live IB for SH and that sucks because you don't have a viable MS feeder; we get it. Now take your piss poor attitude and veiled jealousy and go away to your magical MS charter or "go private", because in addition to in demand private schools having unlimited space for your precious snowflake, I am quite sure you have another $50k a year in the budget for the next 7 years.[/quote]
