[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just at Brent yesterday but I am not a Brent parent. Based on the projects and writing I saw on the third floor ( where the upper grades are ).  There is quite a robust and enriched program going on.

If Brent parents don't find THAT enriching enough there is no way in this galaxy that the stuff going on at Jefferson will meet their standards this year, next year, or ten years from now. [/quote]You were able to assess Brent's academic program on a one hour visit during the "Learning Showcase?" [/quote]

Aren't vehicles propelled by magnets and balloons indicative of a highly rigorous curriculum?[/quote]
As a Brent parent with a kid that made a balloon powered vehicle, I can say that there are deep systematic issues that need to be addressed before deeming Brent's academics top shelf.  It's a good school, and an absolutely wonderful place to be a part of (kids and parents alike), but it is not yet "there" academic-wise in the upper grades.[/quote]
