[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that Brent parents should be slammed for erring on the side of optimism, as long as they're not banking on a by-right middle school program they're enthusiastic about, no matter how old their children are. We simply aren't in a position to know if another high SES friendly charter or two we can attempt to lottery into will spring up in the city, like a second campus of BASIS or Latin. Five short years ago, nobody in Ward 6 knew that BASIS would be opening a DC campus (most of us had never heard of BASIS). Four or five years from now, under a new mayor, we may have a solid test-in DCPS middle program to shoot for (or not).

I do think that you're going to see more parents bailing on Brent younger, because Jefferson only looks like a green pasture to the most optimistic/willing to roll their sleeves up, and it's getting tougher to lottery into an acceptable middle school charter or OOB option (Hardy or Hobson for some) with every passing school year.
