[quote=Anonymous]Using DCPS numbers as an approximate, there are about 120 IB students who attend Tyler.  The other 250 or so are OOB.  Also, the IB numbers may be somewhat misleading as my understanding is that there is a fair amount of attrition post-PK in both Tyler programs.  OP's idea only works if Tyler's IB population is comparable to Brent's percentage wise.  Otherwise, Tyler remains a majority OOB school, just like the Hill middle schools.

In any event, the Brent community has spent years making investments that are just now beginning to pay dividents in the form of academic excellence.  Moreover, houses in the catchment are now routinely selling for $800,000 plus, with many topping $1.1 million.  Call it elitism or whatever else you like, and notwithstanding that many parents love the SI early childhood program at Tyler, the program has too far to go to catch up to Brent to make this "cluster" concept anything but another DCPS clusterf**k.  Does anyone know, for example, the  amounts raised by the Tyler PTA?

Right now, VanNess is the wild card in terms of Brent and parents such as OP should be demanding answers from DCPS.[/quote]
