[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Almost every kid who is there currently is an inbounds Hill kid. It hasn't even experienced one class of students from a citywide draw yet. It is an historically neighborhood school; the petition seeks to return it to a school that serves the neighborhood in which it is located, just like every other DCPS school (except the Montessori one).[/quote] Absolutely and unequivocally FALSE. Even when it shared the Cluster boundaries SWS gave sibling priority to any child with a sib in the Cluster - Watkins and Stuart Hobson. There are plenty of kids kids at SWS who did not gain access strictly by geography. There was a strict policy against switching between Peabody and SWS midstream, so Peabody attracted more families interested in PS3 whereas SWS attracted parent willing or able to wait for PK4.[/quote]
