[quote=Anonymous]DC is a school choice city. 76% of families choose not to attend their neighborhood school. This is not just a middle-class pattern; it happens at all income levels. Forty-six percent of students in our public school system - combined DCPS and charter - are at-risk (qualify for TANF, nutrition assistance, are homeless). Until and unless the city completely gentrifies and most of the needy families leave, or until we level the many gaps between rich and poor, this pattern will not change significantly. [/quote]
