[quote=Anonymous]Lafayette, Janney, Murch, Stoddert, Mann and Key, are all way above capacity, close to double capacity in several cases.  No thanks, even if they're "better."  Most use classroom trailers, with kids forced to venture outside to access bathrooms in other buildings.  Lafayette, with the city's highest test scores, doesn't even have many walls inside (it's being renovated, noisily).

JKLM and private schools have their own problems, too, a strong undercurrent of snobbery and droves of hopelessly pampered kids among them.  You won't find a nicer or more grounded group of with-it urban parents than those associated with Brent.

Lower grades parents generally haven't been on the Hill very long.  They don't remember the days when Brent was a stinky dark cave with broken glass on the tarmac and no in-boundary kids.

The principal seems pushed around more by his teachers than parents, especially the Early Childhood group.  I have confidence that the LSAT will make needed changes this year.
