[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ and that is why the CH feeder patterns are a mess and why so many families, who ould consider SH, jump ship in 5th for BASIS and Latin, thus guaranteeing a much longer slog before SH ever has a chance of becoming a school filled with neighborhood kids.[/quote]

BASIS has a one year track record -- not sure I see a trend or sample size.  Latin is popular CH option.  SH is hamstrung by being fed by schools populated predominantly by OOB students.  The only feeder with any neighborhood kids is the Cluster, and even there Watkins is heavily OOB.  Everyone else scrambles for the best options available, which to date are not Jefferson or Eliot Hine.  Just look at the MS boundary map.  SH is a postage stamp compared to Hardy or Deal.  The SH boundary is drawn to accomodate feeders at the expense of the neighborhood.  That's why it doesn't retain CH families.  It has nothing to do with charters or when families jump ship from DCPS, which is happening at earlier age levels too.[/quote]
