[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The history of the Hill is middle class kids going to Deal if they stayed in DCPS.[/quote]

That's a newer trend. I'd say about when Rhee came in and put Kim in place there. You're talking five years max. Hardy maybe, yes, not Deal.[/quote]
This is just not true.  Students on the Hill have been trekking to Deal for a long time.   Before the Cluster was formed parents avoided Hine, but some considered Jefferson in the late 80s and 90s.  The Cluster was formed to entice middle class parents to stick around, and Jefferson was essentially a selective admission program with a tough as nails principal.[/quote]

I think it is funny how the generation of parents who were around during the beginning of the cluster won't admit that the reason for the cluster was to entice middle class families and make them feel more comfortable through middle school yet when anyone suggests something similar these days they squawk and cluck elitism and racism.

And they sue or disparage charter schools for doing the same.[/quote]
