[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent is a school full of rich white kids yet the scores are mediocre. There is also no middle school path. I would not listen to anyone that tells you to rely on Basis/Latin as those schools will be hard to get into by the time your LO reaches middle. For the same price or cheaper, you can move in Deal feeder. If you insist, I would pick LT for the diversity and better scores.[/quote]

Greater "diversity" at LT than Brent?  If you mean more low-income AA kids proportionately, yes, of course.  If you mean more socioeconomic, international and racial diversity, absolutely not.

My kid's class at Brent has four or five AA kids, several kids of Asian descent (one of whom speaks beautiful Chinese), a Latina (who speaks Spanish at home), and several European kids (who speak European languages at home; their parents work for international organizations with DC HQs, e.g. the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund).  In LT for ECE, we didn't see that sort of diversity, far from it.

Who cares about the silly test scores?  In-boundary parents vote with their feet: Brent is more than half in-boundary, while LT is around 20%.

LT doesn't really have a MS path either, unless you're OK with Stuart Hobson (with a student body that's less than 10% high SES/white in a catchment area that's at least two-third high SES/white in 2015).
