[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that 84 of the Watkins 5th graders enrolled in Szh is misleading since most of the IB Cluster kids have already left. We started at SWS and I have on entering 6th grade this year. We have one neighborhood friend who started at SWS with us that is heading to SH. The other kids all came in as the IB kids got out. So my question is more of how many of the 84 Watkins kids going to SH are actually IB?  My guess would be no more than 1/4 of them. [/quote]

25% of 5th grade in boundary sounds about right, if not too high.  [b][u]Watkins is overall ~30% out of boundary students[/u][/b], and I'd guess that the 1st grade starts off 70% and if the in bounds drops by 10% - 15% a year. . .

70% 1st
60% 2nd
45% 3rd
30% 4th
15% 5th

Average of the above is 44%

Don't know if it is true, but I did hear that a couple (maybe 2) students are transferring from Brent to Watkins for 5th for the SH feeder.  But who knows, maybe by now they are off the Latin Wait List. . . ..

Before you start inventing pseudo-statistics, check your facts, especially when it's so easy to check: Watkins is 74% OOB (http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Watkins+Elementary+School)
