[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1.  Agree w/poster above.

Extending his or her argument, if you lean strongly risk averse as a parent, or don't have a lot of dough to throw at privates, or don't want your kid in a public school w/out established above-grade level offerings, or don't want to move from the Hill after ES, Brent probably isn't for you.

We know parents who bailed from Brent after PreK or K to nail down a spot at CHD or St. Peter's.

We know many more parents who ride Brent because they like the school and it's far and away the most affordable option at this age.

We're in 3rd and plan to stay through 5th. We're Catholic and plan to jump to St. Peter's or St. Anselm's for 6th if either has a spot (unlikely), or a parochial school in VA we're taking to.

Good luck making your decision OP.

FYI, both St. Peter's and St. Anselm's have spaces at 6th grade, especially St. Anselm's.  St. Anselm's starts at 6th grade, and they take all the boys that they think will succeed in the program - it's really a question of whether your son's test scores and grades (less important than test scores) make him a good match.  And because a number of St. Peter's boys make the jump to St. Anselm's in the entry year, there are typically spaces that open up there too -- especially if you have a son, as the class demographics are lopsided.[/quote]
