[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I give this timeline because I've lived in-boundary for the Cluster since the 80s, when the three schools were grouped and I was a practice teacher in DCPS. I remember how many neighborhood parents predicted that Stuart Hobson would "take off" in a few short years way back then, during the Reagan administration. 20 years later, and SH is only about 20% in-boundary, although the school supposedly differentiates madly. [/quote] This is a common refrain from Hill old timers who conveniently ignore the lack of viable charter sector in the 80s vs now. ~ 7K 6-8 graders and ~10K DCPS vs 9K PCS for 5-8. 6-8 grade PCS seats have grown 14% in the past 6 years alone. Most of that growth has occurred in the past 20 years[/quote]
