[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents aren’t sending their children to Hyde-Addison instead of Brent for ECE. They are doing it a few years later in elementary to get the middle school feed. Again, stop chiming in on topics you know nothing about. [/quote]

Are you an H-A parent? Because I am and I assure you there are a surprising number of K and 1st graders zoned for Brent with OOB seats at H-A. You're correct in that there are not many (if any) ECE (PK3 and PK4) kids from Brent zone, but that is because the school doesn't even have enough PK spots for IB siblings, let alone OOB siblings or OOB with no preference. Occasionally an OOB PK4 might squeak in if they have an older sibling.

I say this with confidence because I was surprised to know that so many Brent families were committing to the commute so early. But they told me that they valued starting and staying at one school and have the means to make it work. As an OOB family from an IB next to Brent (so a similar commute) with the same middle and high feeder pattern...I wish we had started in K as well. The commute really just is not that bad if you have privlege - a flexible job, at least one car, and money for before/after care. If you have two parents and two cars, or some kind of carpool scenario, it's even easier.[/quote]
