[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the SWS kids are still Hill kids, even in the ECE program.   I see them at Sherwood olayground and regognize lots.

However you slice it, you must pick your poison in DCPS.  The fair weather Brent principal who plays with parents' heads vs. the unproven upper grades at SWS.   The hopeless-for-at least-another-decade feed to Jefferson Academy from Brent, or the catostrophic-for-at least-another-generation feed to Eliot-Hine, which enrolls a single white kid.  Which is the least bad?  Personal decisions indeed.

Agree with PP on SH being wildcard here.  Many SWS families are inbounds for Stuart Hobson which complicates SWS 5th by providing a third path.  Unlike Brent where it's mostly charter/private/move vs. Jefferson, SWS is charter/private/move vs SH vs. Eliot Hine.  I suspect the kids inbounds for EH will be most active in pursuing 5th grade charter seats with some families inbound for SH likely to do the same.  The EH feed will be weak for those who remain at SWS for 5th.  Substitute EH for Jefferson and you have Maury's outlook, but I hear there's a little more interest in EH from Maury (anyone care to confirm/deny?).

Despite being modernized the yearly progress at Stuart Hobson is not impressive.  The enrollment patterns have been inconsistent over the past few years and that may have adversely impacted YP[/quote]
