[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I'm so tired of hearing the Brent story. Brent got better because they do not have housing projects in their IB and because with the recession people could not afford private for a few years. It was not forward thinking parents/field of dreams shit. [/quote]

Whatever you need to tell yourself.  Your defensiveness reeks. Maybe learn something about the Brent Neighbors group and the people in it before you spout your theories.   [/quote]

NP here. I'm sure the "Brent Neighbors" are lovely.  But if you are trying to make a comparison between the tiny Brent boundary (and Maury boundary for that matter) with no housing projects (and yes, we know about Ellen Wilson-- sorry, that's not Potomac Gardens by any stretch) and the boundaries for Payne, Tyler, Miner, Watkins…. well, whatever you need to tell yourself.

School improvement doesn't have anything to do with tiny boundaries or housing projects. Brent was improving in its culture and academic standards for all the kids in it when it was still a vast majority OOB students. Same students, different school culture, different leadership and active PTA support.  The goal is "school improvement". Not "make school all inboundary students".  Yes, much much easier to improve a smaller school, but isn't LT tiny?[/quote]
