[quote=Anonymous]I went to a Jefferson open house pre Covid, and tuned into Zoom sessions for Brent families about Jefferson in the spring.  I posited some of the questions asked on this thread at these events, as did fellow Brent parents.  What we got in response were the vaguest of statements about "leveled classrooms" and nebulous sounding advanced math instruction at Jefferson. We were told of "a significance presence" of Jefferson graduates at Banneker and Walls,.  I left unconvinced of definite rigor, or a path to a competitive DCPS high school, helping explain why we went with a charter.

If DCPS isn't going to be straight up with in-boundary parents of high-achieving 4th and 5th graders about what constitutes advanced course work at Jefferson, why should Brent parents trust Jefferson admins and teachers to provide the "appropriate rigor and challenge" I heard so much about in the presentations?  My kid was a bit bored at Brent, although I pushed for more rigor in the upper grades.  It didn't worth the risk to have them seriously bored at Jefferson.
