[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]25-30% was the rate when Montessori was housed in Watkins. It’s been 6-7 years now since theyI think they left. It wasn’t close after until the recent uptick. I think the “hovers” poster is eyeballing white students, a good third of whom are OOB. I doubt she is counting my actual IB child who is AA.[/quote]

+1 And yes, it was 2010/11 when CHM last co-located at Watkins.  The fact that it increased to 30% for 16/17 while in less than optimal swing space is encouraging.  Some 5th grade families went charter last year instead of spending their final year in transitional space.[/quote]

For the past 5 years, Peabody has waitlisted IB families for pk3 and pk4. In the last few years, dozens and dozens were waitlisted. And that’s just the families who actually applied. Peabody is packed to the gills with IB children. There is no excuse for Watkins to be 30% IB at this point. [/quote]

I am pretty sure there are many elementaries in DC with packed preschools, and very limited IB buy in at older grades.   [/quote]

Show me another school that waitlists 30-40 IB families for pk3 and has a 30% IB rate for 1-5. You’re not going to find one.[/quote]

the 30% IB rate is bottom heavy and reflects the younger demographic rising through Peabody into lower grades at Watkins.  It's the upper grades that skew less IB.  Smaller neighborhood demographic pool of 8-10  than 5-7year olds.[/quote]

not that different from Brent where the biggest IB population boom is 3rd grade and lower (probably 2 years ahead of Watkins in that regard).  The pool of students is smaller for upper ES without even factoring charter enrollment.[/quote]

Two years behind Brent .... right. [/quote]
