[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp with the 6th grader at SH. What is your assessment of the ward 6 middle school feeder pattern situation. How are things for your DC at SH? Would you be open to ways to feed Other cap hill schools into SH or do you like how it is now?[/quote]

Disclosure:  our family is OOB for Watkins/S-H.

SH is a good school for my 6th grader, and works for a couple reasons -- most of the peer group from Watkins is intact and enrolled at S-H, so arrived with friends.  One section of each academic class is "honors" and with that tracking, there are strong attentive students in the core classes.  It's a small school, so allows trying extra curriculars that are beyond what I expected would be the comfort zone.  At a large school, like Deal, I think sports etc. would be more competitive, and less accessible for newscomers.

Personally, I think Brent should feed to SH, and that would strengthen the school.  Personally, I've never really understood the Peabody/Watkins/S-H boundary, and it seems to me it should be rationalized somehow.

As a policy matter, I think that having OOB elementary students have a "right' to feed to the middle school is a problematic policy (which started with the 2009-10 school year).  I would eliminate it.  Politically, I don't think it will be eliminated.
