[quote=Anonymous]OK, 19:25, but if the community involvement is so strong, and the school is doing so well, why are so many high-SES/white kids still leaving in the upper grades?

We're only heading into preschool at Maury, but we're a bit concerned about the exodus, so I thought I'd revive this thread by seeking answers.  It looks to me like Brent is stemming the tide, partly because the administration has been responsive to parent concerns about lack of challenge in the upper grades (e.g. rumor has it, by allowing looping up for math in the upper grades from this fall).

But what's going on in the upper grades at Maury?  Why are so many of the affluent Lincoln Park neighborhood families still peeling off along the way?  I won't be surprised if most of the white kids are no longer there in 3rd again this fall.  Is that what others expect?  What explains the departure of so many high-SES families despite the buzz on Maury?  Is the school on track to catch up to Brent or not?
