[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked the idea of an at-risk minimum, whatever happened to that proposal?[/quote] The problem is there are too few good schools, and way too many at-risk students. Total DCPS and charter enrollment (minus adult learners) is 86-87,000 students. Fully 39,000 are at risk. The preference, as tested by the lottery folks, would help 600 of the 39,000. Ten percent of seats at high performing schools would only help another couple thousand. [/quote]
