[quote=Anonymous]Based on my limited knowledge, the principal reason that students IB for Brent attend other Capitol Hill elementary schools is the fact they were shut out of the lottery in the past two or three years.  Very few opt for Tyler fir SI or attend Watkins for its gardens, although a few have transferred to Watkins for Fifth so that SH is at least a fall-back option

With few exceptions, the PS/PK students eventually return to Brent for K, if not before, as spaces open up as the result of relocations and transfers to CHDS or charters like Yu Ying.  A couple of rising Fourth Graders Found spots at Eaton this year and several more, including siblings, could follow next.

Can't speak for other Hill schools, but there very, very few OOB students at Brent in the PS thru 1st Grade cohort, virtually all of whom lost IB status when their families moved out of the Brent district or have older siblings who attend Brent.  As to 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grades, OOB students are principally from other parts of the Hill, although there is a sizable contingent from the Amidon district and Bolling.  Fifth Grade is by large majority OOB.[/quote]
