[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason Brent is lumping 5th graders in with 4th graders is because 5th grade numbers are way down after Covid highs. Last year's 5th grade class was a bubble class from the get go, Brent's first fully in-boundary K class six years later. Almost half of the 5th graders stayed at Brent last year, three dozen, many shut out of both Latins and BASIS, with two 5th grade classes. [b]This year, there aren't even enough 5th graders to justify running a single self-contained classroom for them. [/b]Brent is reacting to the numbers generated by external forces. City politicians and DCPS leaders don't care.[/quote] This is not true. Brent had too many 5th graders for one class but too few for two classes. More 5th graders are staying at Brent compared to a few years ago.[/quote]
