[quote=Anonymous]Asking which school is "better" is pointless. Brent remains at disadvantage on several fronts because of the longstanding and unresolved MS situation. Unlike Janney, there is not a path through HS for Brent students. Brent parents start obsessing about options around First or Second Grade and many, particularly those with older siblings in Latin or BASiS (Hearst used to be in the mix as well), gradually become less and less invested in the school. The fact that there is no clear vision for articulation through Fourth and Fifth Grades does not help. However, increasing competition for spots at Latin and BASIS soon may result in a greater number of IB students continuing at Brent through Fifth Grade and thereby strengthening the school. Much hinges upon whether DCPS will try to force controlledchoice or some other form of social engineering upon Brent as the messaging seems to be indicating that WotP is off-limits to this sort of untested experimentation.[/quote]
