[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern's failure to attract a good cohort of UMC in-boundary families is a no brainer.  The main problem is that there's no DCPS middle-high school bridge East of Rock Creek, with UMC Hill families overwhelmingly peeling off for vastly superior charter middle/highs schools that take them to 12th grade or for Walls or Banneker for 9th.  Without a super duper test-in IBD program, e.g. Richard Montgomery in Rockville, Eastern has no allure for almost all high SES families EotP.  DCPS doesn't give a hoot and political heads don't roll over the state of Eastern.[/quote]

If Eliot-Hine's IB program becomes really strong, I can see families try to stick together and continue on at Eastern. [/quote]

+1. The problem is really that charters start in 5th grade, so people jump because they are afraid to lose their chance. If charters were somehow mandated to start in 6th grade, you might have enough families stick together to try IB at Eliot.[/quote]
