[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent actually scores lower than schools with similar demographics. For middle path, I’d choose Watkins.[/quote] Come on. Brent is head and shoulders above Watkins in terms of the kid's experience. The entire 1st grade at Brent is in-boundary and OOB with older sibs. Brent parents care little about PARCC scores and the kids are not prepped for the test like at almost every other Hill DCPS. Brent has a seriously good fine arts program, paid for by the $400,000 a year PTA. Brent is also the only elementary school on the Hill with a designated science teacher. The Brent principal is terrific, while the Watkins principal seems to care only about "closing the achievement gap." Brent's middle school feeder situation isn't good, and neither is Maury's so if you want a path to Stuart Hobson, go for Watkins. Don't go for Watkins for Watkins.[/quote]
