[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been very happy at Brent and our kids have loved the combined 4/5 experience. They do a great job of supporting advanced kids and as a previous poster referenced - the data suggests that the academic results have been better across every demographic. Talk to the school and actual parents at the school. Yes, parents supplement.  EVERY WHERE. Our friends at private schools are all using tutors and proving enrichment just as our friends in DCPS are…[/quote]

Did you have a 5th grader in that class? Because you would be the only person I’ve ever met who love it, if so. And if you really do, you know that’s true given the class chat. Like I literally can’t imagine who you could be. This year’s 5th graders literally read the same novel 2 years in a row! Think that just maybe they may be an afterthought?

Yes, the set up works fine for advanced 4th graders leaving at the end of the year.[/quote]

Yes, we have had two fifth graders at Brent - one before upper school and one after it was implemented. The upper school experience has been far superior to our experience that predates it - but I appreciate that every child has unique needs and there are a range of experiences. For the OP - it may be helpful for us all to speak to our own experiences rather than generalizing about all students. [/quote]
