[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure I get the post at 12:54.  The closest schools to SH are Ludlow-Taylor, Peabody, JO Wilson, and Capitol Hill Montessori.  Those are the "neighborhood" elementary schools.  The closest schools to Eliot-Hine include Maury.  The closest schools to Jefferson include Brent (even though it is very far away).  This isn't to say all of these boundaries/feeders shouldn't be entirely reconsidered, but I'm not sure I get the argument that Stuart-Hobson is supposed to be the middle school for historic Capitol Hill only.[/quote]

I think the point being made is that boundaries and feeders need to be reassessed, which DCPS has refused to do in the past.  A number of Hill schools used to feed to Hine, which no longer exists (albeit with no great loss), and parents have to deal with a broken feeder pattern.  As long as the DCPS system purports to be neighborhood-based, the question is what is the best for the neighborhood.  Clearly, SH and its current crop of feeders are not drawing from the neighborhood.  And how does this get fixed now that CHM@L is going to a PS-8 format and SWS has lost its SH feeder pattern? [/quote]

SWS never had a SH feeder.  It fed into Watkins which had a SH feed.  You could argue  SWS shouldn't get a feed as a citywide school, but that's unlikely.  It will probably just nominally feed to Eliot Hine and no one will use it.[/quote]
