[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One factor that has stagnated SH a bit is Watkins’ decline. LT has massively improved in terms of IB buy-in and UMC buy-in during the period from ‘19-‘20 to now, but Watkins has gone downhill in both categories m. Additionally, increased IB buy-in for LT may actually paradoxically have the effect of decreasing the percentage of enrolled kids heading to SH.[/quote]

I think people must be using "IB" as a proxy for something else. Maybe socioeconomic class? Or the distribution of IB students across grades has changed? Because the numbers don't support what you're saying.

Number of students living IB at Ludlow-Taylor
went from 439 in SY19-20 to 436 in SY24-25.

Number of students living IB and attending Ludlow-Taylor went from 263 in SY19-20 to 267 in SY24-25. [/quote]

One thing I was going to say is that making inferences about the relative share of kids going to each school and the change in share over time is that it’s hard without knowing the denominator. My intuition is that there’s a lot more kids in DC than there used to be because it’s become viable to raise them here, and not everyone who can leave does.[/quote]
