[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I don't get why neighborhoods that already have the demographics to support full honors classes, e.g. Brentwood, have to wait for years for the classes to be created. Apparently, the demographics came long before the classes at Stuart Hobson, and advanced math at Hardy (namely 7th grade algebra).

It's very difficult to get high SES parents to enroll without the honors classes. Why not just set them up once neighborhood demographics have shifted?

Because DCPS doesn't budget along those lines?? Serious Q.

I don't think Brentwood has those demographics.

Do you mean Brookland? The part of the Hill IB for Eliot Hine?

Brookland planned on honors classes, but the enrollment was overwhelmingly filled with high-needs students (Title 1 easily). At Eliot-Hine (and Eastern) in response to community feedback/demands, DCPS implemented an IB curriculum.

In both cases, higher SES parents DID NOT ENROLL. DCPS doesn't believe you.

As for SH, the school has always had a cadre of OOB middle class/working class students. That's who the honors classes were created for.

Most high SES families simply don't want to be the first ones to enroll. [/quote]
