[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The principal isn't putting anyone in the lottery, the parents are! He was just trying to explain the new system to a bunch of uninformed first-timers. Nothing evil was intended.

The only portion of Hill residnts that are going to be "exluded" are the ones IB for the Cluster without siblings. The proximity preference will enable a lot of young Hill families north of Stanton Park to go to SWS, should this be added in 2014. Trinidad is not walking distance, and Potomac Gardens no longer has preferecnce, either.[/quote]

Less of the northern Hill will be served by proximity than you may think.  It's a microsection that covers a fraction of the LT, Wilson, Miner and Maury boundaries.  Due west that reaches to about 5th and F St NE.  Proximity is behind all SWS sibs, whethere they entered old IB or new citywide.  There will be an influx of new families and their sibs will follow.

... and Potomac Gardens residents overwhelming enroll at Tyler and have never had proximity to SWS or Peabody -- only Watkins[/quote]

That part of the Northern Hill has a lot of young families and children. SWS could be an all-but neighborhood school based on proximity.
