[quote=Anonymous]I think the upward trend for Randolph is a plus. As is the possibility of it becoming a choice school for IB. If that happens, I believe students who attend Randolph for IB are automatically placed at the IB middle and high school, which could also be a plus.

However, my understanding is that the choice IB thing is just an idea now, who knows if it'll really happen. If it does, it will be 5 or more years off. So a rising kindergartener may or may not reap the benefits of a choice school.

Making a bet on Randolph vs Barcroft is tough - although signs point to Randolph progressing faster than Barcroft at this time. There's been talk on other threads about the potential for each neighborhood/school zone "gentrifying" more and people seem to think Randolph will fare better there. Barcroft's new principal could help the school, but not sure how much it will help if the school zone's demographics continue to trend away from middle class, single family homes.

I don't know much about this stuff, but if others do, please chime in. [/quote]
