[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict that you're going to see fewer parents stay for fourth, but more of those who do stay hanging on for 5th.

Yes, those who strike out in the 5th grade lotteries will have a year's cushion to make back-up plans, and try the lottery again.  The second time around, some will shoot for charter and DCPS middle schools starting at 6th (DCI, Hardy, Hobson etc.) Also, parents aiming for privates starting at 6th (there are many within a 45-minute commute of the Brent District) will be more inclined to stay.  You're already seeing parents on the path for privates staying for 5th, just a handful, but they're there.

What are the privates w/in 45 minute commute of Brent?  Can't be anything in the NW.  Virginia?[/quote]

For academically strong boys, St. Anselm's Abbey School starts at 6th.  They pull plenty of boys from the Hill, and it's about a 20-25 minutes drive.  They actually have a number of boys switch over from St. Peter's starting at 6th, which is why the upper grades have fewer boys.

I know some kids take the bus from Eastern Market to Burgandy Farms.[/quote]
