[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brent is indeed getting crowded, so no compelling reason to let more OOB kids w/out sibling preference into the upper grades. The exception would be the small 5th grade class, so DCPS will pay for a teacher (minimum of 18 in the class to qualify for the teacher outlay). The Maury principal won't let kids who don't test proficient lottery in past 2nd grade, which certainly isn't a DCPS policy. Apparently, highly successful elementary school principals are given wiggle room on admission matters. [/quote] Brent is penalized by DCPS in terms of funding because it has fewer than 400 students. More students = more funding = more resources. This is particularly critical when classes are added for the purpose of keeping the student:teacher ratio at 20:1 or less at each grade level. I can't think of more compelling reasons than these. [/quote]
