I believe this was Calle Ocho's first year of having a 5th grade class at all, so an increase is to be expected. |
No, 5th grade yet. |
So Mundo Verde is still in the middle of the initial expansion to build out the school and it only increased by 6% since last year? That's about 30 kids? I thought it was a big school - how many kids per grade are they supposed to have? |
That is insane. |
Gentrification Watch! Schools with a low percentage of white students that saw a notable increase in the number of white students:
Amidon-Bowen 40->51 Barnard 44->60 Bunker Hill 14->27 Burroughs 50->79 Eliot-Hine 37->57 JO Wilson 39->49 LaSalle-Backus 5->13 Seaton 72->82 Shepherd 99->114 Stuart-Hobson 59->78 Tyler 99->117 Wheatley 7->16 Whittier 38->50 |
My one take away is that tyler is HUGE for a DC elementary school |
Curious about if there are any schools where that % persists through 4th or 5th grade. I’m too tired to dig in the data myself but my unscientific study (using my eyes) at one of the schools on that list where I have a (white) rising 3rd grader and we are bailing next year for a Hardy feeder says PK3/PK4 classes are half white, 4th and 5th grade classes have 1-2 non Black kids max. I don’t think the school is unique in that. |
Where are the folks getting last year’s numbers to compare? |
^^ Not the totals, but the racial/ethnic breakdown. |
Same website. OSSE enrollment |
I don't think you can see this in the data. It looks like there's a table by race and a table by grade level but not a table by race and grade level. |
Can also go to Schooldigger where you can pull up the data for each school from 1988 through last year to see the longer-term trends. |
schooldigger isn't a thing |
Is this a good thing? Where are they going to put 55 more students? |
that was the pattern at our EH feeder, but it changed significantly as more people started to choose EH. The 5th grade still loses a lot of kids but the demographics are overall more balanced than they were 10 yrs ago. |
