[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because PK3 was initially introduced in Title I schools in DC, but wasn't phased out when those schools lose their Title I status. The Hill was all Title I a decade ago; WOTP not so much. If PK3 were being introduced now, Brent and Maury would 100% not have it. They'd have extra PK4 classes so that more IB could get in. In fact, there is some momentum at Brent for making this change now. (There was a bigger uproar a few years ago when there was a class where a few IB kids with siblings enrolled were WLed; things seem to have died down a bit as the [b]PK population of Brent has stopped expanding[/b], probably because Brent has gotten so expensive.)[/quote]

We've heard that before.  Then along comes another record breaking application year. DC doesn't seem to be short on families who can afford million dollar houses.[/quote]

There is no evidence at all that the PK population IB for Brent has stopped expanding, fwiw. [/quote]

I admittedly haven't done an exhaustive survey, but the last few years the number of IB applications for PK3/4 don't seem to be increasing the way they did in the years prior. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that IB pop of Brent was shrinking, just that it didn't seem to be growing at the crazily fast pace it had for the few years prior. Could obviously be an anomaly too.[/quote]
