[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the replies.[b] What boundaries/ demographics will SWS serve now that they have moved? If they go to lottery likely the quality will decline.[/b] Do others agree that Maury will soon have a low (below 20%) FARMS level and high scores? Per Brent, do students there go on many field trips? How often do they have music and art? How much outside time? Can the teachers focus on higher achieving students instead of being weighed down with behavior and remedial issues? Do many Brent students go to St. Peter's for middle school? We would be interested in St. Peter's too. Look forward to hearing more![/quote]

You're serious?  You sound like a troll.  If you are bound and determined to keep your snowflake away from anyone of low-SES, then you're an idiot for pretending to be interested in DC.  Go to MacLean.  You are not going to happy in DC, Princess. [/quote]

Totally. My kid is at SWS, and OP makes my blood run cold. The only thing I don't love about SWS is that it isn't particularly representative of the neighborhood. It's a great school but anything that will make it more diverse, not less, I will support. And the teachers feel the same way, it seems.[/quote]

Agreed the original post quoted above is obnoxious.

For better or worse SWS is mostly representative of the neighborhood, and where it's not you may be surprised to learn that the modest number of OOB families are also higher SES.  The program is somewhat specialized, small, and not on everyone's radar.  It also only covers 3 grade levels at the moment, so its not relevant to everyone.  FWIW -- Peabody and the Cluster may have been the prefered OOB option for some families when SWS went independent.[/quote]
