[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rosedale isn't exactly synonymous with the Hill in the minds of many.  The school needs IB high-SES families to commit beyond PK, and to back this up with time and resources, which is what happened at Maury and Brent.  Indeed, LT hasn't been able to take the final step to where a majority of the school is from the Hill, even with virtually be entire community surrounding the school having been gentrified, albeit the proximity of SWS complicates the situation somewhat.

True up until a couple of years ago.  The transition at LT is occurring as we type.  Also, not to forget that LT's test scores for their "non-gentrified" kids are equal to those of high SES Brent/Maury kids'.  It's a matter of LT having high-quality teachers and the huge number of kids on the Hill and occupying every other conceivable IB slot at every other desirable school option.[/quote]

True about LT.  Already a good school, and I can say from my kid's cohort in PK that most of them are staying for K, and on and on up the grades.  We (IB, high SES family) have not played the lottery in two years.  The fantastic educators are keeping us at the school. We are not the only ones who like and appreciate the school, I'm glad to see.  And I'm liking my kids' feeder pattern into Stuart Hobson more and more.    :) [/quote]
