In their annual reports for 2011-2012 school yr, MV reported 31% FARM and IT 18% FARM. CM is probably closer to IT's but only a guess.

So far, from this thread it sounds great: language classes three times per week + small class sizes.

Do these Charters with low FARM rates recruit actively in poorer areas of the City?

I don't know if they actively recruit anyone b/c honestly, I've heard about most charters on DCUM. The only advertising I've ever seen in real life was for DC Prep on the side of a metrobus and a few Yu Ying banners like what realtors use the year day opened around Adams Morgan. That's it.

I have seen signs encouraging enrollment for Inspired Teaching on the sides of Metro Busses.

NOPE. Because they don't want them. They should be ashamed.

Doesn't it have a lot to do with accessibility?

I believe most FARM families stay at their neighborhood DCPS because of proximity to their homes. They are likely not to travel around the city for a school.

Agree with this for the most part. I work with the lower SES populations EOR and, as a rule, they send their children to nearby DCPS or nearby charters. They are NOT sending their children to NW for school. They consider NW to be "way uptown".

How are Charters able to afford buildings in NW?

This year Mundo Verde reports 29% FARMS http://www.dcpcsb.org/SchoolProfile.aspx?sid=169# and IT 22% http://www.dcpcsb.org/SchoolProfile.aspx?sid=185.

Still no data on CM... http://www.dcpcsb.org/SchoolProfile.aspx?sid=201

I am just really curious. There has been so much speculation about the demographics of CM, yet no data to back it up.

IT actively recruited in ward 5 when it was here. Tons of info sessions. Hard to get folks to sign up for a brand new charter if they don't have tons of time for research, willingness to tolerate location uncertainty etc.

Is IT in a permanent location now?
