[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does an in-demand school like DCB then ensure it has a diversity of kids from across the economic spectrum? I can't imagine they want to serve only disadvantaged kids -- as they say kids do better in racially and economically integrated schools. Is there a % set aside?[/quote] I doubt DCB gets so many at-risk applicants that there is a chance of filling the whole school with them.[/quote] Actually, DCB has more at-risk kids than their "peer" charters, and close to their neighborhood DCPS bilingual schools. DCB 23% at-risk MV 14% Stokes 9% LAMB 7% Neighborhood schools like Powell and Bruce Monroe are around 1/3 at-risk, so I could imagine a preference bringing DCB up to similar percentages. Wonder what that will do to the perception of charters being better for "peer group" and "achievement gap" issues...[/quote]
