[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key to increasing enrollment at Brookland Middle School is to make the feeder schools (Noyes, Bunker Hill, Burroughs) schools that neighborhood parents are willing to send their kids to. [b]Right now, that's not the case.[/b] Once parents are comfortable with the elementary schools, there's a chance of luring them to BMS. Right now so many kids in the neighborhood are in charters that have a middle school or are OOB in other DCPS schools that it's no surprise that they can't get any traction.[/quote]

Some neighborhood parents aren't willing to send ther kids to these ES, but many are. The IB % are actually pretty high.

Noyes is 66% IB
Bunker Hill is 63% IB
Burroughs is 44% IB

Brookland MS is 63% IB

It's a very stratified neighborhood, and that makes DCPS' job harder. But they are serving a lot of Brookland kids.[/quote]

You won't get far with DCPS making the case that Brookland isn't serving enough IB kids. It actually looks good on that score, although it is underenrolled.

By way of comparison - IB% at Middle Schools

Stuart Hobson 23%
Hardy 20%
Deal 63%
Eliot Hines 22%
Jefferson 33%
Hart 74%
