[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The change in class make up from third to fifth grade is shocking.  I haven't seen a break down for 2012, but for 2011, in grade three there were 25 blacks and 13 whites; in grade four 20 blacks and three whites; and in grade five 17 blacks and 0 whites.  http://nclb.osse.dc.gov/reportcardbygrade.asp#grade_3

You can try and finesse this however you like, but it is pretty obvious the in-bounds folks are fleeing Brent en masse in the highest grades.  I would think that this is not a good thing . .. but I suppose folks on DCUM will disagree.

I'm new to all this.  Can anybody offer a coherent explanation for the exodus?  Mostly lack of challenge in the upper grades?  Preference/wherewithal for private schools?  Weak teachers?  Prisoners Dilemna (white parents thinking others will bail, so they do, too) or what?

Roughly many white kids dropped out between 2nd and 3rd then?  Were these kids in the first group or two of whites starting in preS 3, around 2005 or 2006?
