[quote=Anonymous]The theory is the opposite - characters create integration at the elementary level. People buy houses on the hopes of getting into a charter, people who never would have bought houses in the city otherwise, people who would have moved to silver spring or fairfax otherwise. And then when they don't get into a charter or when their charter ends up not being a great fit, they give the local school a go for a year or two in the PK-K grades. They leave by 1st, but the kids born right after them go through the same process but don't bail on local schools till 2nd. Then the kids born right after them stay in local schools till 3rd or 4th. So far that seems to be as far as we go in terms of charters creating integrated neighborhood schools. This is where we stall out though I'd watch the capital hill middle schools for progress on that front. So I'd say charter schools create more integrated neighborhood elementary schools and drive gentrification. [/quote]
