[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you want to talk to Brent 4th grade families with kids at both Brent and a DC public middle/high school, as well as the 5th grade in-boundary families. Easy to do this at drop-off or pick-up. You'll find that the 5th grade families--only 15 of 60 4th graders last year have returned--divide roughly into several groups. Group 1 is comprised of [b]hard-core Jefferson Academy UMC boosters who didn't apply anywhere else[/b]. Group 2 is the comprised of parents who won't touch Jefferson but got shut out at Wash Latin and BASIS for 5th grade. They're scrambling to make a new plan, knowing that they're very unlikely to crack Wash Latin or BASIS for 6th. Group 3 is comprised of low SES families who may not have applied in the lottery. Some of the parents went to Jefferson as kids and are fine with Jefferson Academy as is. Good luck.[/quote] At least that's what they're telling you :)[/quote]
