[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not set up a comprehensive middle school on Capitol Hill spread out on two campuses? 6th grade at Stuart-Hobson and 7th and 8th grade at Elliott-Hine. Feeders would be JO Wilson, LT, Watkins, Brent, Maury, Tyler, SWS, Payne, Miner, Van Ness, and Amidon-Bowen. There could be a Spanish immersion track to support students from Tyler Bilingual as well as Hill families from LAMB and Mundo Verde looking for a neighborhood school for the MS years. Turn Jefferson into a test-in STEM MS. [/quote]

Great question for Henderson, Grosso and Allen.

This idea has merit.  Seriously. Something a politician can ( and should ) get behind.  And it could be done in the spirit of "uniting ward 6 on the road to Eastern".  It would eliminate these funding and feeder squabbles and create incentives for everyone to work together and share resources--  The school would be the size of Deal and have the per-pupiil funding to run robust programs in academics, remediation, sports, arts and drama.  I feel like if we can get our neighborhood together in a middle school, amazing things could happen. [/quote]
