[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent has been the best DCPS elementary school outside of Ward 3 for several years now.  It will continue to be a strong elementary school due to the demographics at the school.  The good thing for Ward 6 is that there are now several good options for elementary school.  Brent, Maury, Ludlow-Taylor, Van Ness, SWS, Peabody, etc.  You can't go wrong with any of these schools.[/quote]

I don't know -- Lafayette, Powell and Sheppard in Ward 4, Ross in Ward 2 and that's not as clear cut a distinction for Brent as you seem to think. Some of those school have seen higher rates of student progress.  Why is Van Ness which hasn't educated a child in nearly a decade a school where one "can't go wrong?"  [/quote]

That's not fair. How dare you use "logic" and "facts" to debunk the echo chamber IB for Brent.

It is a good school to be sure, and has long been the best DCPS on the Hill but some of the Brent boosters confuse "best on the Hill" with best education anywhere, ever. They're also pretty well entrenched that no school could ever approach it. That won't be true if more and more ECE kids stay at their schools and then matriculate to MS. At that point parents will have to think hard on a longer time horizon. (Cue the Brent defenders! Basis blah blah blah, Latin blah blah blah, private, and so on). [/quote]
