[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe SH is 15% inbounds - what a joke!  Get rid of the OOB elementary school feeder rights, draw a normal looking boundary (say 1 mile radius around the school, rather than the absurd jury-rigged boundary currently in place) and SH would turn into Deal OVERNIGHT.  In fact, SH would probably turn majority white/high SES overnight.[/quote]

Some of us around Ward 6 are actually trying to come up with practical solutions to our splintered middle
School situation that put the most number of students ( of all backgrounds ) in a better position educationally than they are now.

Then there are jack**** like the pp who give us all a bad name.

I, for one, don't crave a majority white/high income school for my white/middle income kids. I desire a school that has fabulous visionary leadership, professional teaching staff, a variety of electives and extracurricular activities, a positive school culture and a majority of students who have come out of their elementary schools prepared to learn and thrive at grade level.  It can happen. And experience tells me DCPS isn't willing to make that happen.  So it leaves ignorant parents to think it is all about white kids[/quote]

Just to interject. Don't say Ward 6. All of these "solutions" are Hill specific and are not focused on the rest of Ward 6. We are definitely left out of your middle school discussions.
