[quote=Anonymous]I feel like people are looking at the MS thing wrong, declaring anything that doesn't work for 100% of the kids a failure. If you are raising the next Doogie Howser or Bill Gates, a DCPS middle school may not work for you. If you can afford private, have at it. Success in my mind 40% to 50% of the kids who start off in K at the local ES, end up in middle school. For Brent, that would be 25 to 30 students a class. By all accounts, Deal is a great school that everyone would love to have in Ward 6. But they don't get 100% of their elementary school students. My understanding is that the numbers of 4th grade families at Brent that entered the lottery is down significantly from previous years. Does that mean these people have all committed to Jefferson? NO, not even close. But if 10 or 15 of those families go forward, that should give us a better idea of how this could work.[/quote]
