[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how Brent gets a raw deal.  This new plan seems on par with the previous Ward 6 middle school plan.  I'm not sure why one would expect something different now, or why Brent would deserve some odd realignment of middle school boundaries so that high SES parents feel comfortable, when the truth is most Brent families will never (at least in the short term) go to either Jefferson, SH, or EH.

I'm somewhat optimistic about the longer term prospects for all of Capitol Hill.  Jefferson is now Brent, Amidon, Van Ness and Tyler.  All of those elementary schools have promise.  Elliot Hine has Maury and SWS. Eastern will now encompass all of Capitol Hill (and a bit beyond).  I'm continually frustrated by SH and the cluster cutting through the middle of the hill to no one's advantage, but I'm hoping that the new proposal at least breaks the Watkins/SH bind which seems detrimental to both.[/quote]

the problem is the so-called "middle school plan" which doesn't speak for anyone on the Hill other than the CHSPO and even that is unclear to the community.  It's a massive clusterf#!*  DME basically picked this failed mess of a plan slapped a ribbon on it.  Brent loses Eliot Hine.  Nothing else changes.  Hill schools split among 3 MS.  Not exactly Deal/Hardy either.  This is going to continue to be a non-starter for many families, and that's not limited to Brent[/quote]
