That's not "closing the achievement" gap. It's using school population demographics to manipulate test score presentations -- basically trying to spit-polish a turd.

We don't disagree. When people talk about a school 'turning' a school all they mean is displacing one kind of student with another.

It isn't in DCPS's interest for that to happen because it will concentrate the highest need students in fewer and fewer places.

Except that studies show that low-income students benefit from having high-SES peers.

Perhaps with some, not necessarily most. Look at Wilson -- supposedly the best public high school in the city where students bring loaded guns to class and knife each other outside the school.

this exactly. The gaps are being closed at all. The only difference is in the amount/speed of gentfirication. Brent is probably a good example if you compare scores now with scores from 10 years ago. The "clientele"of the school is changing dramatically and the test scores reflect this. Brent the school/admin haven't really done anyting.

This won't give you exactly the data that you want, but you can still glean some information here:

http://dcps.dc.gov/page/my-school-dc-lottery

It's really only helpful for PK3/4 - you can see how many students were in-bounds, out of bounds, sibling preference, etc. You can then see how many lottery seats were offered for subsequent years (and assume those are going to OOB students).
