I haven't had a chance to dig in, but OSSE (quietly) posted the enrollment audit today.
Someone else dig so I don't have to! https://osse.dc.gov/page/2022-23-school-year-enrollment-audit-report-and-data |
Thank you! I love this data set. Cannot wait to dig in. |
| 681 freshmen at JR. I would say that the 700 figure rumored on here back in the fall was accurate. |
| Langley Elementary had 116(!) likely residency cheats... More than 1/3rd of its student body. That is insane and that principal will almost certainly be let go at the end of the year no matter whether they are otherwise liked. |
That's a typo. |
If that were true, Langley would be facing a massive budget cut, and it's slated for an enrollment increase in the budget process. So it's likely a typo and there were 16, not 116, kids with residency issues. |
That's still actually a lot and possibly enough to get the school in trouble... but obviously not the egregious eye popping level that 116 is. |
It has to be. Who will cheat to go to Langley? |

I ran the numbers against last year. Here are a few things of note:
Browne +24 Bunker Hill +18 Borroughs +17 CHML +41 Coolidge +275 (really!??) Deal -5 Dunbar +140 (really?!?!) Ellington -15 Dunbar +140 (wow) Eastern +99 (kind of a high school theme developing here) Garrison +44 (wow) HD Woodson +65 (again with the high schools) Hardy +40 JR +91 John Lewis +56 MacFarland -100 (ouch) McKinley Middle -55 (ouch) Murch +50 Roosevelt +116 (again high school growth!) Roosevelt STAY +156!! Shepherd -17 Stuart-Hobson -44 Takoma +29 Thomson -29 Walker-Jones -50 (ouch) Watkins -48 whaaat? Whitlock (Aiton) -55 Whittier +44 Eagle Congress Heights -127 (31% drop) Friendship schools-- small decrease almost all locations. Big drop in Online. Harmony +19, guess it's not gonna close Hope Tolson -79-- that's a 28% decrease, uh oh KIPP schools-- a mixed bag. Lee Brookland +21 Bethune -26, not a good sign Mundo P St -34, ouch Paul -38 Rocketship a mixed bag, Rise lost 133 which is 20%. SSMA +17 TR+14, TRY +8, TR Middle +33 Washington Global +31 Yu Ying +33 |
It's happened a few times in the past. It's not as bad a school as it used to be, and it's right next to McKinley Tech so a lot of people commute there. |
The school only gets in trouble if it's determined to be their fault. If the forgery of papers was really convincing, or if the issue relates to a kid in non-public placement so the school registrar doesn't see their paperwork at all, then they won't be in trouble. |
Shepherd -17? |
Is the admin at Langley that bad? They also have the issue with the teacher accused of assaulting the student. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-elementary-school-teacher-accused-of-assaulting-student/3276252/?amp=1 |
It's not that bad, that residency number is a typo. Nobody has ever had that many residency cheats. You'd be hard-pressed to find 116 people willing to sneak into Langley if you paid them. The assaulting student thing was investigated by DCPS and cleared. |
Doesn't Langley also have a sizable population from the Joint Base? It can be hard for military connected kids to get all their residency stuff correct. With that said... 16 is still high. |
