[quote=Anonymous]OP, you really might want to look at the long earlier thread - the discussion about diversity issues in the school community on it is thoughtful, hard-hitting and informative. It's not quite true that the 5th grades at Brent or Maury are entirely low-SES and AA, but nearly. With high SES Hill families able to vote with their feet to escape both SH and EH, the great majority do for now. As things stand, Latin, BASIS, the burbs and privates attract almost all the high-SES Brent 3rd and 4th graders (and Jefferson Academy attracting most of the low-SES 5th graders) leaving a small, one-class 5th grade full of poor kids. But up to 4th, you should be fine at Brent, and very welcome for wanting to be part of a community that is diverse yet mostly high SES. Many Brent parents think like you, OP. If the bleak middle school feeder doesn't concern you, and you can find a house you can afford and like in the small Brent district, go for it. [/quote]
