[quote=Anonymous]^I agree for the most part, but don't think the CH MS feeder situation is as make or break as you suggest, or that Brent and Maury's lower grades are a step down from JKLM.  JKLM schools have only had a popular MS feed for a few years now, and they suffer from debilitating crowding, particularly Lafayette, because DCPS hasn't been willing to add permanent classroom space.  Lafayette and Murch have had classroom trailers (some without bathrooms) for a decade, and classrooms at the former are tucked behind makeshift partitions - the same can't be said of Maury or Brent.  Brent is making increasing use of the nearby Smithsonians, with many more field trips under Principal Young than previous heads.  Plenty of well-heeled JKLM families still scatter after ES, to privates.

CH essentially has public middle schools - Washington Latin, BASIS and, soon, DCI.  No family has been shut out of both Latin and BASIS yet.  BASIS offers honors classes outside math, while Deal does not.
