[quote=Anonymous]The ILL Report identifies neighborhoods with few good school options (defined using DC-CAS scores, current & projected), and suggests that charters take over the schools in those neighborhoods.  An unstated assumption is that the new charter would have a neighborhood preference.

I think the report is not worth much.

I think neighborhood preference for charters would be very difficult to implement.  To the extent there is one, it is that families tend not to select a school that is all the way across town.  So those who enter the lottery are more likely to live near the school.  Self selecting.  The IFF report also documented that.  The best charters students traveled to, the lower tier charters (again, tiers only based on DC-CAS) were attended mainly by students in the immediate or adjacent neighborhood cluster.

Hence the other active thread, do JKLMM students attend language immersion charters.  Some will travel to do this.  For a generic education charter in Ward 7, not so much. [/quote]
