Data Nerd Alert-- OSSE Enrollment Audit is up!
I don't know how I missed it! https://osse.dc.gov/node/1579401 My quick hot take is how Latin 2 is going to kill Capital Village and Social Justice. They each had only a couple dozen new students this year. |

Some of these numbers make sure on access and barriers, but the number of unaudited students is (!!!!). Wilson parents should be ballistic.
First number is total enrollment, second is ones with unverified residence. I only included schools with more than 5 unaudited/verified residency. H.D. Woodson High School 477 121 Carlos Rosario International PCS 1979 71 Woodrow Wilson High School 2047 61 Eastern High School 763 43 Langley Elementary School 305 22 Coolidge High School 740 15 Roosevelt High School 796 14 Academy of Hope Adult PCS 562 13 Langdon Elementary School 349 11 Payne Elementary School 291 11 School Without Walls @ F-S 516 10 Beers Elementary School 385 8 Shining Stars Montessori 246 8 Hardy Middle School 531 6 C.W. Harris Elementary School 230 5 CHEC 1556 5 Maury Elementary School 518 5 |

I smell trouble for:
Shining Stars, down from 291 to 246 Mundo P St, down from 596 to 570 (!) Somehow CMI didn't decrease DC Scholars, down from 607 to 538 Washington Global, down from 231 to 207 Bethune, down from 387 to 342 Hope Tolson, down from 373 to 282 |

I thought that was about as many as they were trying to have. But yes, Latin 2 might kill them, we'll see. I dunno how interested parents are in Latin 2 given that the location sucks and isn't permanent. |

Yeah and the at-risk preference at Latin. |

I thought in order to open schools have to demonstrate demand and need. The problem is that it is decoupled from the "location" so all the applications are pie in the sky. I wish DCPCSB had the real cajones to deny location applications as not being in the agreed upon initial charter. |

Wow-- so I ran a comparison of this spreadsheet with the same spreadsheet from school year 19-20.
Biggest losers, decreases of 20% or more (Listing them all even though some have good reasons like grade level transitions): Achievement Prep Beers Eagle Academy Congress Heights Eagle Academy Capitol Riverfront HD Woodson Hendley Hope Tolson Kelly Miller King LaSalle-Backus (due to Wells I think) LAYC Luke C Moore Bethune Moten Patterson Raymond Ron Brown Roosevelt STAY Smothers Sousa Stanton Takoma (due to Wells?) Children's Guild The Next Step Truesdell Two Rivers 4th Biggest growers 20% or more-- obviously many due to adding grade levels: Bard Breakthrough Cedar Tree Coolidge Digital Pioneers DCI Eliot-Hine Stokes EE Friendship Armstrong Middle Friendship Collegiate Friendship Ideal Friendship Ideal Middle Friendship Online, obviously Friendship SE Middle Friendship Tech Prep I Dream Ingenuity Prep KIPP Honor Kramer Lee EE Maya Angelou Young Adult Mundo Calle Ocho Phelps Statesmen The Family Place |

Hi fellow data nerd! |

| I wouldn’t read too much into these numbers- last year was a very weird enrollment year. |

I want to read into Woodson, Eastern and Wilson for having hundred together of unverified or non-residents at their schools. |

The fact that people want to cheat their way into Eastern is… depressing. God only knows what their other options must look like. |

It’s not necessarily cheating. Just parents, guardians that don’t care or too busy to get paper work by audit day. |

Thanks! I love seeing %! |

There is so much going on with DCPS schools transitioning to new middle schools, and charters adding grades or shifting things around, that it's hard to interpret this data.
What really jumps out at me are the schools that were on rocky ground with the PCSB already, and have lost a lot of enrollment over the past two years. Hope Tolson, down from 473 to 281. Bethune, down from 423 to 338 Shining Stars, down from 292 to 237 Howard, down from 291 to 282-- not a big difference but not good when you're already on thin ice. Mundo P St is down from 606 to 571. Not a big percentage decrease, but it's notable for a strong school. At Two Rivers there's actually a small increase if you add 4th and Young together. CMI is up slightly too. |
