[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Setting aside the post conflating the Brent District and other neighborhoods that some might consider to be part of Capitol Hill, part of the reason that we love Brent is its size and sense of community.  Brent has fewer than 400 students, while Janney will soon surpass 700 and Lafayette surpass 800 post-renovation.  Obviously, they are terrific schools with feeder rights to Deal.

Make your decision based on what you think will work best for your family, not ridiculous fearmongering.[/quote]

OP, I don't know if you are even still reading this but just going to throw out there.... you don't have to go with a large JKL in order to feed to Deal.  We go to Hearst, which is a Deal feeder, and it has 300 students (2 classes per grade).  Test scores seem comparable to Brent.  Smaller IB % but that is getting bigger every year.  Small school with a very strong community.

I'm sure Brent is great too but I have no experience with that.  Just wanted to point out that there are smaller schools in NW that you could consider.[/quote]
