[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll buy that argument when Brent retains a significant number of rising 4th graders rather than watching an exodus to Latin/Basis/other for 5th, just like all Hill residing families with kids at Maury, Watkins, and Tyler SI.[/quote]

I can speak only for one of the latter but it seems to me that this thing about leaving after 4th grade is a Brent phenomenon. We're perfectly happy with what our non-Brent school from the rest of that list has to offer in the upper grade and aren't willing to compromise that just because some "harpers" (I like that term) have to feel better about their angst by causing others to be anxious. If you can't see how your own child is benefiting from a good school regardless (or maybe because) of the socioeconomic makeup of the school as a whole, then either Brent isn't so great or you're just never going to be happy in the city's schools. Why bother trekking to Basis or Latin, where the same angst will inevitably catch up with you?[/quote]
