[quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your original question - and let's all be honest here -- YES!

I would venture to say that more high SES kids are staying at Brent longer than at any other school on the Hill.  Whether that means that high SES kids will actually stay through fifth over the next few years, who knows.  The difficulty, of course, is that though Brent is excellent, the high SES parents worry about MS (not to say that low SES parents do not, they simply do not have $$ for other options).  And, there is no good MS public option available on the Hill.  Period.  No high SES parent that I know (and that is my cohort) would ever consider SH, much less Eliot Hine or Jefferson.  So, you need to start jockeying for position in whatever charter/private school you want, earlier than fifth (to avoid being shut out).

I am already worried about entry years at CHDS for my PS kid.  I'd love to stay at Brent as long as possible, but know how long I can risk being shut out of CHDS.

Not in this lifetime would I EVER send my child to any of the public MS options on the Hill.
