[quote=Anonymous]For the K parent:  We have a now 6th grader.

Of course, the landscape is going to be different for you than it was for our family in terms of what schools are available and likely.

I do think there are some constants though, and I think if you really think through these questions, you'll be better prepared down the road.

1)  Is continuity of cohort important to you?  That is, do you want your K kid to be surrounded by a lot of the same kids come their senior year in high school?  Do you want to be able to have parents to turn to that have come up with you through the grades at the same schools?  If so, then Brent is not for you.  If you don't care, then stay at Brent.

2)  How does your child do in new situations?  Will they adjust well to a situation where they may know no other kids or 1-2 or several (none of whom may be their closest friends)?  If yes, then stay at Brent.  If no, then make your move now.

Brent is a strong school, but it surely is not the only strong school out there.  Capital Hill is a great neighborhood, but it surely is not the only great neighborhood.

Good luck![/quote]
