[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DC is headed to SH next year. They are a high performing kid and are excited about all of the ECs at the school. We will be keeping an eye on the level of the work and will likely keep supplementing if it’s not rigorous enough but our family is very excited about the school. [/quote]

I've been browsing this site for more than a decade now, and the conversations around SH really remind me of the conversations around Hardy 10 years ago. Snowballing effect of more families opting in and the school stepping up to meet the needs to high achieving students.

I dont live in that area and my kids are on a different middle/high track, but we have friends at SH and the kids seem completely happy, challenged by the variety of ECs and projects (like the "climate symposium?") and will be fine ramping up when they get to high school.

SH getting stronger is a great thing for the city. [/quote]

I could not agree more. Stuart Hobson getting stronger is a wonderful thing!

But it’s still a weak, weak school that is failing the smart kids of DC. And lying about statistics (see above for example) and pretending like kids don’t need serious supplementation and outside extra curricular activities isn’t making it stronger. This only serves OSSE and the crazy boosters who care more about their property values going up than children. Stuart Hobson is not a good school, neither is Eliot Hine, neither is Jefferson and that extends to every other dcps middle. Dc needs to do more for their children. [/quote]
