[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people on the Hill are grumpy because we have a critical mass of middle class/upper class families living here and could have great schools. But the way the system is structured prevents that from happening. All Hill elementary schools ([b]Watkins, Brent, Maury, LT, etc[/b]) should feed into one middle school. It's idiotic that this hasn't been done. [/quote]Which Hill schools are included in "etc."?[/quote]
Brent
Maury
Ludlow Taylor
SWS
Peabody/Watkins
Van Ness
Capitol Hill Montessori
Amidon
Tyler Spanish
JO Wilson
Payne
Tyler
Miner [/quote]

I'm 13:13 and don't necessarily agree with this list. For example, Cap Hill Mont. has it's own middle school. Amidon is not on the Hill. Neither is Van Ness. But regardless, there are a bunch of schools that could feed into one Middle. [/quote]
You can't take Brent and Tyler out of Jefferson's feeder pattern while keeping Jefferson open.  What is the long term justification for keeping Jefferson open with just two feeding ESs despite Brent and Tyler sending few students to Jefferson?[/quote]
