[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How awful is it to move a kid in 5th to Watkins to guarantee SH?  I hate to do it.  He's in 4th grade now @ Brent.  My kid is very social, confident, adaptable, fairly athletic, advanced in math (but not in other areas).  He really wants to go to SH.  He knows a few kids at Watkins from sports.  [/quote] It's not awful at all, people do that kind of stuff all the time.  A friend moved his, then 6th grader, out of SH last year and into Hardy because they wanted the feed to Wilson. There was no other reason than, they wanted the Wilson feed.

I suggest you apply for Watkins this year just to keep your options open.  And then if you dont get it try for SH next year.  I'm doing the same. Applied OOB (with sibling preference) to Watkins last year for 2nd grade. Got in but didn't take my slot but am applying again this year (with sibling preference again) and hoping to get in next year for 3rd grade. We will definitely take the slot if we get it this time.
