[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+100.  More than 70% of IB 5 year olds in the Brent District now attend for K.   DCPS keeps these stats.

And? How on earth are you making this about Brent and ECE? Look at the thread title. This is about SH.

No one has suggested that Brent isn't an IB school or that it doesn't do ECE very well. What we have argued is that SH feeders are excelling in tested grades, and that those schools have feeder rights to SH, which is good for SH.  Everything isn't about you![/quote]

NP, longtime Cluster family in the upper grades at Watkins, where nothin' much oozes "excelling" but the new renovation.

Would give a lot for a real neighborhood school like Brent or Maury for elementary, even if Jefferson Academy and Eliot-Hine never take off.  SH doesn't appeal for many reasons. So, go ahead, boost on on ad nauseum. We know better and we're not buying it.

PS. You don't get to tell us what to post, lady.[/quote]

Well, the test scores do. But I know you don't like data that doesn't agree with your world view. It is also about a trajectory and growth (especially when only 3rd-5th take tests and buy in is reflected over years, not months.) And how do you think you get neighborhood buy in without improving educational outcomes over time? Magic wand? Or do you get neighborhood buy in with the genius on this thread who was IB for LT but instead enrolled in Maury because she wanted a school with higher IB numbers (cannot make this stuff up.)

P.S. Who told you what to post? It is an anonymous, free forum. And what if someone did tell you what to post? Are you in the habit of taking instructions from strangers without actual or apparent authority? As I tell my children, if someone is trying to make you do something with which you aren't comfortable, you don't have to even respond or justify why you are doing your own thing. Don't give them power they don't have.

P.P.S. But I guess this all makes sense. Someone who is so insecure is exactly the type of person who sends their kid to school for 7 years but pines for the "better" thing that others have.
