[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Cluster parent who thinks this boundary/feeder revision process is an opportunity to discuss splitting SH off from Watkins & Peabody. It would be very wrong to think of Cluster parents as some monolithic group of SH cheerleaders. Lots of IB and near-IB families would love to see SH off on its own for all kinds of reasons. There are some interesting ideas floating around out there about making SH a citywide test-in Museum Magnet MS program with neighborhood proximity preference.[/quote] Replace "SH" with Winston Education (Hillcrest) you're getting warmer. SH is never going to be test-in. CM Catania is getting feelers on a test-in application MS in Hillcrest at the Winston Education site, which is only 3 miles from the Hill and easily accessible by bus/car (and against traffic). He wants to know if the parents who will schlep from the Hill to Basis, Latin, DCI, Deal, Hardy, etc will consider commuting east of the Potomac. It's actually a promising idea, and worth exploring if the program offers the kind of rigor in MS sought by many Hill families.[/quote]
