[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of Capitol Hill schools, how is Stuart Hobson? Is it markedly better than Elliot Hines? Competitive with Deal and schools like that?[/quote]

Are you tuning in from outer space? Search Stuart Hobson on DCUM.

I you talk to Cluster parents who planed on sticking with Hobson all along, you'll be told that very good school.  If you talk to in-boundary Cluster parents who land at BASIS, Latin 1, possibly Latin 2, privates and the burbs (the majority), you'll get a different opinion.

This is exactly why to ask. One hears incredibly different takes on SH among Hill parents and generally. I guess seeing the argument here I can understand why it's hard to make a call -- no consensus [/quote]

No, not hard to make a call. Asking is neither here nor there. Positive reviews for SH are invariably the byproduct of lefty politics, and possibly a commitment to drama and brass bands (they do have a decent band and school musicals).

You're white and get into BASIS, and/or Latin 1, for 5th grade, you go.  If you don't, maybe you go for a lesser charter, Latin 2, Inspired Teaching, CH Montessori, Two Rivers.  If you wind up without an appealing charter option and you're AA, Asian or Latino, you penny pinch for a private or move.  You go with SH only if you don't get into BASIS or Latin 1, can't afford a private, and are determined not to move.  Those are your MS options EotP.[/quote]
