[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now...with the problematic middle school situation, keeping them all the way through fifth may be a problem.[/quote]

Could you elaborate on this?  What happens in 4th and 5th?  Do parents move their kids to private/charters?  Is that because it's easier to get into a private or charter at the 4th or 5th grade level?[/quote]

I am a Brent parent.  I think the next two years are going to be interesting because 3rd grade is the oldest grade with a mass of middle class parents.  Will they stay through 5th?  We don't know.  People who want to stay public are surely going to be tempted by Watkins and Hobson.  Not because Watkins is all that great, but because Hobson is an option in the way that Jefferson and Elliot Hine aren't yet.  My DC is in 1st.  My plan right now is to stay at Brent through 5th and then go private - I feel like my child needs the kind of individual attention he just isn't going to get at a public middle school anywhere.  Brent is working for us right now.  [/quote]
