[quote=Anonymous]Please, the Turtle Park group (mostly comprised of in-boundary parents of babies and toddlers) was trying to make the school work for its catchment area for the first time since the 1970s. They were also trying to make the school work for families who lotteried in and the existing school population. No point in splitting hairs over what the hierarchy of contributing factors was. Better just to applaud them. They did such a fine job that now Brent finally has an entire K class of IB kids, 15 years in from the group members rolling their sleeves up. Watkins has been a much tougher nut to crack (if you believe in DCPS neighborhood schools serving neighbors first and foremost). It was far too big, and characterized by vice-like OOB ownership. The pre-turnaround OOB group at Maury and Brent weren't nearly as invested.[/quote]
