[quote=Anonymous]The Maury PTA parents of rising 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders I talk to sound more interested in getting involved at E-H than the Brent parents. But then the high SES kids at Maury are, on average, younger, than at Brent, and that group of parents hasn't been burned yet. I expect that the "open-minded" Maury parents will get turned off, too, eventually. With E-H 85% FARMS kids, and resistdance to test-in programs remaining strong at DCPS, Tommy Wells' office, and presumably among E-H parents, Brent and Maury are simply a bad fit for E-H. The E-H facilities and grounds are nice enough, but the demographics and location don't bode well for the parents at either school. High SES Maury parents tend to say "Oh, sure, I'm open to E-H" to go along to get along, not wanting to offend anybody, when, privately, they aren't planning to enroll their kids, not in two years, or five years. Hell, no. [/quote]
