that's all very nice for Eastern students, but the point still stands-- Brent parents cannot get excited about Eastern or commit to Eastern when middle school is so uncertain.  Since DCPS can't even make up its mind where Brent kids should go, parents of course have to evaluate both E-H and JEfferson, and then "while we are at it", they may as well also consider all those charter middle schools, too.

The lack of interest of Brent folks in Eastern is by no means a dig at Eastern-- just a side effect of the reality that Brent parents face an immediate middle school problem.   Maybe the "problem" is actually beneficial for Brent kids as this short-term-thinking, "take it one year at a time" perspective requires Brent parents to really consider what is the very best middle school for their child rather than just do the easy thing of enrolling in whatever school in "next".  Nonetheless, the "problem" makes it impossible to commit to a particular high school, as middle school is such a quandry.
