[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boosters like to say that "everything will get worked out" with DCPS in regards to academic challenge for Brenties at Jefferson. I find this very hard to believe. The only way things seem to get worked out with DCPS at the middle school level are when demographic changes create conditions favorable for learning for high SES families (at Deal, and maybe Hardy and SH).[/quote] You answered your own question. There are 90 6th graders at Jefferson. If all 50 of Brent's current 4th graders enrolled at Jefferson for 6th, that would be more than half the class and voila, demographic change. In that scenario, 6th grade would probably be a little easy for them -- but by 7th the principal would be able to plan for what they need. But more likely maybe 10 will go, and the other 40 won't want to 'be the first.' And it will be a few years before things change much. [/quote]
