[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not know.  The data says Jefferson 6th grade this year had 27 students from Van Ness, 16 from Tyler, and 22 from Amidon.  I think the trend is somewhat similar to EH.  It is just not driven by Brent.[/quote]

+1. And I don’t see any recent posts actually claiming that lots of Brent kids go to Jefferson. So I’m not sure who that other poster is arguing with.

I think the brightness of Jefferson’s future will have little to do with how many Brent parents choose the school. And I say this as the parent of a Jefferson kid who came from Brent.

Looking at A-B’s PARCC scores and, tbh, VN’s to a lesser extent, I’m not sure a heavy feed from those schools is likely to be a positive for those looking for academic rigor. [/quote]

Whatever. The point was made that Jefferson and Eliot-Hine are similarly situated. And if PARCC scores are your thing, then that is certainly true with respect to the two schools.

The point was that they are not similar situated in terms of momentum from ESes w/ substantial UMC populations. Maury and Payne both have larger UMC & smaller at-risk populations than VN, A-B and Tyler (esp non-Spanish track). Also, Payne is gentrifying quickly; VN has been moving the other direction. Buy-in from Maury (especially) and Payne is not the same as buy-in from the non-Brent Jefferson feeders in terms of momentum for academic rigor/a cohort of kids on/ahead of grade level. [/quote]

NP. +1000 Pretty much nailed it. The denial is strong with the Brent folks. Otherwise intelligent people seem unwilling to see what is plainly there.

-Signed, Someone not IB for any of these schools without a horse in this race[/quote]

It's the same reason folks will be more interested in the size of the L-T feed to SH than the JOW feed. (I also think that JOW could see a huge spike in IB buy-in once the renovation is complete, esp with the unrest at TR, which could change things there. But right now it's so heavily OOB, that its feed to SH isn't of that much interest.)[/quote]
