[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any haters on this thread. Discussing the demographics of the school - and whether or not that may pose some challenges to the school is a fair question.

I think some of the PPs were genuinely surprised that the FARMs rate is as high as it is. [/quote]

It's not really surprising, nor will it be surprising when it goes down. I believe DCB is the largest source of kids right now. MV is not there at all.

DCB and Stokes have high FARMs numbers. YY's are low, but were higher in the initial classes and those kids are now at DCI. Also those initial YY classes (now at DCI, mostly) were small, like 18-30 kids, total. They had combined classes for the leading grade for a while. Stokes moved to Brookland in 2008 and that is when it first got some mention on this board, as Brookland parents got interested. Its FARM numbers are much lower in the lower grades. And YY has huge numbers in the 4th and below, 4 classes per grade in most cases, with 6 classes in the current 3rd grade.

So, it stands to reason --because Stokes FARM % is going down in younger grades, because MV will start to send, and because YY younger grades are big and low FARM, that FARM rate will go down at DCI.

I know less about DCB and LAMB, but these schools are older and I would think they would have more stable FARM rates from year to year. MV too as it was 'hot' from the beginning. [/quote]

We'll see.  However, right now the FARMS rate is 52%.[/quote]
