[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Stats can only get you so far in understanding a situation. The "why" for the stats can't be assumed. " Yes, help me understand why if Brent is such a great school, why can't they pull off a miracle and get these kids to do better on a standardized test? If you can't do it at Brent, how will it ever happen at schools that aren't gentrifying from preschool up?[/quote] I am a Brent parent and worry about the same question. It keeps me up at night, no joke. I wonder if dispersing kids who are statistically at risk of not achieving and not concentrating them in one place may be part of the answer. Montgomery County has played with this idea a bit and had some success. You are right to challenge the definition of a "great school". That label gets thrown around to some weird places for wierd reasons in the crazy dcps system. It's all relative and subjective. [/quote]
