Well, it isn't true, so that's really unhelpful to new people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/a-top-dc-charter-school-educates-few-at-risk-students-should-it-be-opening-a-second-campus/2019/08/04/24593e12-b3a2-11e9-951e-de024209545d_story.html

Scott Pearson, director of the charter school board, said he wants the city to adopt a lottery preference that enables schools to give priority to at-risk students. In 2014, Pearson said he opposed such a preference because he did not believe it had been rigorously analyzed.

“If we are really serious about equity and if we are serious about making sure that our least advantaged families have the ability to go to our high-performing schools, we need to do more,” Pearson said in a recent interview. “And my own view is that doing more includes adding a preference for those kids in the lottery.”[/quote]
