[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, what will you do for MS and HS, and what about the other Brent families?[/quote]

NP here.  I have a 4th grader at Brent so this is a matter weighing on my mind.  I plan to have my child stay at Brent through 5th and then research and apply to every middle school that seems like a good fit for my child, including privates.  I'm positive we will find the perfect fit for middle school.  I know that last year many families went from Brent to Latin, Basis, Hardy and Jefferson.

Latin and BASIS will allow my child to apply for a 5th grade spot next year at their schools while my child is already in 5th grade at Brent, so I'm not much worried that we will lose out by waiting a year. [/b]   [/quote]

PP quoted above, I have a question for you.  Do you mean that you will apply for your Brent 5th grader to repeat 5th at Latin or Basis in what would have been their 6th grade year?  Can you apply for them to enter the 5th and 6th grades at these schools simultaneously?

I have a Brent third grader who we plan at keeping at Brent through 5th too.  I don't think Latin or Basis would be a great fit for my family (frankly if I did we would probably bail from Brent a year early), but we definitely want as many options as possible for the lottery.  Stuart Hobson and Hardy are our top choices and I think we'll get into both (it may be in September of 6th grade.  [/quote]
