[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For elementary schools, here's where the IB participation rate has increased the most from SY19-20 to SY24-25 by percentage point change:
-Garrison 25% to 44%
-Hyde-Addison 63% to 81%
-Bancroft 60% to 75%
-Payne 37% to 50%
-John Lewis 22% to 33%

And where the IB participation rate decreased the most from SY19-20 to SY24-25 by percentage point change:
-John Francis 79% to 58%
-Leckie 28% to 15%
-Ross 87% to 76%
-Thomson 50% to 39%
-Cleveland 37% to 26%
-Tubman 39% to 29%
-Peabody/Watkins 62% to 52%

Some honorable mentions (based on percent change) at schools with low boundary participation rates: 
-Whittier 19% to 26%
-Burroughs 21% to 26%[/quote]

Tubman's in a swing space. That decrease is likely temporary.

I'm surprised by Ross/Thomson/John Francis. Doesn't John Francis have a brand new building? Why the drop in inbound participation? And Thomson? With Thomson, part of that might be nearby options (Garrison/Seaton) being more appealing, but hard to imagine people picking either of those over Ross or John Francis. [/quote]

PP here - oh, actually I bet I know what's up with JF - they JUST moved to their new building. Probably people who left because they didn't like the swing space often don't come back - they've settled in elsewhere. So they're still seeing the hit from having been in the swing space (which was pretty far away, IIRC). [/quote]

Yes, you are right. I know because we are one of them. We live in Foggy bottom with three girls ages 6, 3, and 1 - none of whom will attend John Francis bc dropping our oldest off in Shaw for two years was not tenable. We both work in Virginia and it would’ve made our life hell. So we lotteried into Key. Logistically it’s probably the easiest for our commute anyway bc we can just hop over Chain Bridge and now we have a better feeder so we’re just going to stay there. Waiting for PK4 lottery results right now. I’m guessing you’re right that dip should lessen over the next several years as new families enter the school. But kindof interesting that to consider that it lost even our 1 year old bc of the swing space that affected the older sibling. [/quote]
