[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t most Brent families capable of going private with ease…?[/quote]

Absolutely not. Good private schools in the DMV are v. expensive, the admissions process is laborious, the campuses aren't close by the Hill SE and admissions isn't guaranteed.

On average, Brent families aren't as wealthy overall as those in Upper NW.  I'm guessing that no more than 10% of Brent 4th graders wind up in privates by 6th. Most head to charters, some move.[/quote]

I agree but compared to other Hill elementaries there are a lot more students moving or going private.

SY19-20 4th grade cohort: 62 students, n<10 not in audit in 5th, 13 not in audit in 6th, 21-35% moved or went private
SY20-21 4th grade cohort: 54 students, 11 not in audit in 4th, 17 not in audit in 6th, 52% moved or went private
SY21-22 4th grade cohort: 71 students, 14 not in audit in 5th, 12 not in audit in 6th, 37% moved or went private
SY22-23 4th grade cohort: 59 students, n<10 not in audit in 5th, 12 not in audit in 6th, 22-36% moved or went private
SY23-24 4th grade cohort: 63 students, 19 not in audit in 5th, 30% moved or went private just after 4th

All of this assumes nobody new entered the school in 5th grade, so might be a slight overestimate.[/quote]
