[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that there's not a lot of racial diversity in this year's prek 3 doesn't mean there won't be later, even if the catchment area doesn't change.

There's always been money around E. Market and the Capitol, enabling some families to head to independents for their set "intake" years, usually K, sometimes 1st, usually 3rd, sometimes 4th.  Some (but certainly not most) Brent parents are just trying DCPS to see how it goes year by year.

You see this in NW - kids, mostly white, departing before 5th for Sidwell etc.  There are hard-driving parents who worry that, if they wait to 6th to try for independents, the competition for spots will be too tough.  Others worry that if they wait, their kids won't get in for academic reasons.  If the new principal succeeds in strengthening[b] Brent's AL program (and he sounds serious about this), more in-bounds families should stay to 5th.   I'd really like to see AL options expanded DCPS [/b]wide. [/quote]

what is AL?[/quote]
