[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are Brent, SWS, and Maury considered by some to be the best schools in the greater Capital Hill area and the biggest difference is what middle school they feed to? Demographics seem to be the same. Isn’t the DC government working to strengthen Elliot-Hine and Jefferson? Aren’t most of the elementary schools steadily improving and have something appealing about their school? One of the bad things about the Ward 6 schools is the need for parking when visiting a school for more than the two hours allowed with the residential parking restrictions. Haven’t most of the schools been renovated or scheduled soon?[/quote]

DCPS is enamored of 10-15 year plans to improve middle schools, when your kid needs a strong program much sooner.   Eliot-Hine and Jefferson Academy will work for a stalwart minority of Brent and Maury graduates in the coming years.  Most parents won't bite. Brent, SWS and Maury all feed into middle schools that don't appeal to most parents with children in these schools (and that's putting it mildly).  Without lottery luck for charters, most of these parents would leave the DC public school system altogether after 4th or 5th grades.
