Within several years, Maury's test scores will shoot into the 70s and 80s (like Brent's, and Watkins' for white kids) while LT's won't budge.

I'll take that bet!  LT is not only doing a good job at educating students from diverse SE backgrounds, but the IB demographics for LT are the same as for Maury and Brent.  As more IB parents elect to say at LT, its scores will continue to rise along the lines of the other schools you mention.[/quote]

Maury has gone from more than 3/4 FARMs and 10% white to about 1/3 FARMS and majority white (narrowly) in just five years.  LT's development trajectory as a neighborhood school has been much less robust in the same timeframe (staying between 9 and 12% white), but notable and praiseworthy nonetheless.  I just can't get excited about what's happening there.  We just started charter for PreS3 rather than trying LT and won't return.  We don't have the patience wait for a critical mass of high SES local kids to reach the testing grades, like most of our IB friends.

DCPS doesn't break down scores by race when fewer than 25 kids of a race take the DC-CAS at a particular school.  When will LT reach that critical mass.  Any guesses?  2016 or 17?
