Unless SH starts serious ability grouping within the next 2-3 years, and attracts a lot more middle-class families, we won't bother with the school for our second child, at Brent in a lower grade.  [b]We worry that, by the time our younger son tries to lottery into Latin or Basis, there won't be enough room.   [/b]There is talk of setting up a selective admissions DCPS middle school with a city-wide draw.  Perhaps that school will be the next Brent families turn to.  One can only hope.

I wouldn't be too concerned.  A lot can and will change in the next 3-5 years, and there will be new and expanded PCS options if DCPS continues to overlook the MS market of middle class families.  And if Basis lives up to its promises for a rigorous advanced academic curriculum it may not be a good fit for the many proficient but not advanced learners DCPS seems to be largely content to serve.  That said, a lot can change at SH in that time frame as well, although I do understand the concerns that it may not reach its potential.[/quote]
