[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a family IB to SH (presently at SWS) I for one wish Brent and/or Maury fed into SH.

[b]The changes at LT are really and will no doubt be lasting, but I don't think they're reflected in the upper grades yet.
[/b]
If my kids were younger I'd feel differently, but as a parent staring middle school in the face, I'd be lying to assert that SH is my first or even second choice.  I'm glad to have it as a backup but at this stage simply do not know if we'll move for middle school.  [/quote]

Based on what? Test scores? Improvement of classes as they move up? Reenrollment? By every measurable metric LT is outperforming Brent...other than whiteness or "perception" as seen through the eyes of SWS.  I'm going to suggest that someone who thinks a citywide school ES that is 70% white and only 10% FARMs is in no way a unicorn might in fact be the poster child for precisely the behaviors and mentality with which many of us take issue.

What do you mean when you write that you "don't think they're reflected in the upper grades yet"? The data doesn't support your "thinking". Is that cause you took a tour of LT and saw there are more brown people on the 3rd floor than the first? Because you saw there were more brown people than white people, and you are used to SWS? Help me out here.[/quote]
