[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just moved to the neighborhood, so I'm probably not the best one to weigh in on this, but I'll add my two cents.

I'm excited about the school. (Incidentally, my daughter is currently #1 on the wait list for PreK, and it doesn't look like we'll get in this year.)  Between the great facility and staff, I believe there's a lot of potential there.  One thing that strikes me as different from Brent, Maury, and the others is that there seems to be a number of kids from military families at Van Ness.  Two different staff members said something along the lines of, "our student population is very transient because of the large number of military families."  This is not necessarily bad, but it might mean that fewer families invest in the school for the long haul.

I'm just getting to know the neighborhood and Van Ness, but I'm hopeful that this will be a good option for my two children.

Not that it's necessarily an important issue but Brent also has a contingent of retired military, active duty and DOD families.  In fact, there is a bus from JBAB (Bolling).  My understanding is this is fairly common.[/quote]

Is JBAB somehow IB for Brent, or do you mean students from there attend as OOB in upper grades?[/quote]
