[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Maury parent here: I think anyone frequenting this discussion with kids in testing grades at Brent, Maury, and Tyler, throw in Ludlow-Taylor and J.O. Wilson, add Payne and Miner (anyone out there?), [b]and, heck, why not Two Rivers, which I don't think has a viable middle school option either (am I wrong?), [/b]should know from experience how, in many ways, surprisingly little it actually takes to turn a school around. And how oblivious we ES parents may indeed all be to what's already happening on the ground. Many of the very people who introduced us to Maury some significant years back just before sending their kids off to Hardy because they didn't trust Eliot-Hine are actually now banking on Eliot-Hine. Their Hardy kids transfer to Eastern HS. Their educational sensors are sharp, not clouded by color. I followed their lead once, I can follow them twice.
Yes, it would be so much more comfy to see it all in place waiting for the likes of us to finally "jump in the boat" - or the bandwagon as the case may be. But there is one significant upside to being among the first to jump. You get to steer!
(So what's the next foreign language gonna be, French or Chinese?)[/quote]

A large percentage of Two Rivers kids seem to leave at 5th grade to go to Washington Latin.[/quote]
