[quote=Anonymous]If the odd kid throwing the odd rock ranks among Brent's biggest problems in 2014, congratulations to the school community!  By way of comparision, check out the recent 100-page Watkins thread (um, 18 teachers quit over the summer, in-boundary population and test scores falling...).

As for crowding, with only a handful of Brent District houses on the market even during peak sales season (like now), most selling for over $1 million, I don't see terrible crowding in the cards.   When I bought my 3-bedroom house in the 700s 5 years ago, there were a dozen on the market.

And with Jefferson Academy as a dead-ended ms feed for what looks like another 15 years, I can't see Brent's school population growing by much in the next 5 years or so.  But I wouldn't bank on crowding not becoming more of a problem.  There still aren't nearly enough good by-right elementary schools on the Hill to meet demand and more young families with the money for privates after Brent are arriving.
