[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at Edscape, from SY 23-24, out of about 69 kids 24 of the 4th grade class stayed at Brent. 19 were "Not in Audit" which means private or another state. Others went to Latins, BASIS, and Friendship online. Of the 5th grade class, 12 Not in Audit, and less than 10 each to Brookland, CHML, Deal, SH, DCI, and Jefferson. [/quote] They are only retaining ONE-THIRD of their class??? That is INSANE. How can any administrator look at that and think the US experiment is a success? 5th is not an entry year in the close-in) burbs or local privates -- in both cases, 6th is the more natural transition year. For the kids who went to BASIS or Latins, I'm sure there was nothing to be done; but for kids who moved/went private/went to any other school not starting in 6th? That's is almost certainly due to the US model and associated exodus in 95% of cases.[/quote]
