[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh shut up, reverse racism-minded troll.  Some of us will have to move if the Hill MS situation doesn't get sorted out within the next five years or so if there isn't room at BASIS, Latin and possibly DC Global (there won't be, not for all comers).  I don't know anybody at Brent who's planning to send a child to Jefferson Academy.  Even the K and 1st grade families seem to think that the school is a bridge too far in under a decade.  And these are parents who're paying attention.   I went to a Jefferson open house with some lower grades Brent parents last year and we left shaking our heads.  The academics seemed several hundreds miles away from what would work for us, and not because the leadership or teaching were weak.  The housing projects, multigenerational urban poverty and the absence of a test-in program are the problems of course.

Jefferson is only 34% inbound.  If you have confidence in the leadership and teaching, why not try it out as a cohort? How is that different than what Brent parents did a decade ago?[/quote]
