[quote=Anonymous]For the most part, students who attend charter schools live in the parts of the city where the traditional public schools are struggling. That is probably 70% of the city and includes some middle class and upper middle class neighborhoods, so the charter school population is more diverse than you find in cities like Cleveland or New York. For example in Ward 3, where everyone has access to decent schools through high school, only has ~350 children in charters -- mostly parents who wanted something their neighborhood public don't offer like Montessori early ed, a small school or language immersion -- and they got lucky in the lottery. But more than 46% of kids city-wide are in charters, with thehighest rates in Qards 4-8. [/quote]
