[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if SWS, Maury and Brent all sent their kids to E.H. What would it take?[/quote]

Brent is not going to invest time or resources fight to preserve the dual-feed to Eliot-Hine.  It will be interesting to see how things play out for SWS.  My sense is a fair number of those families are already IB for Peabody/Watkins or Ludlow, and thus still have rights to Stuart-Hobson if necessary.  Brent, however, is hung out to dry once again.  It essentially gets nothing in exchange for enrolling 35+ "at risk" students.  Feeding to Jefferson with two low-performing Title I schools, Amidon and Tyler, with the majority of students at the latter themselves being OOB, doesn't bode particularly well for Jefferson, and I jist don't see Van Ness tipping the balance down the road because of relatively low IB numbers.[/quote]

agreed.  raw deal for Brent.  even considering Van Ness joining the Jefferson feed, it's going to lag well behind in grades (it may top out initially with 1st grade -- 5 years away from feeding anything).  As an SWS parent who just gained SH by right over Eliot Hine without feeding from the Cluster, I'd see better prospects for SH with Brent in the fold (and yes, lots of SWS families are IB for SH).  Maybe DME is going King Solomon and deliberately ruining it for everyone.  Not sold on staying in the DCPS fold for MS anyway, but we have some time.[/quote]
