[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many Charters are super integrated. Even the fancy ones -- BASIS, DCI and Latin fit the actual definition of integrated (no one race more than 70 percent of the population).

Other charters are not integrated but at serving their low-income populations better than the  DCPS schools (like DC Prep getting everyone into college).

DCPS schools in gentrifying neighborhoods are sometimes integrated and there is an opportunity here to be a model. Like I feel Garrison actually serves all demographics well.

Other DCPS schools are not integrated because the housing is segregated. Do people really want to run busses between Ward 3 and EOTR or something? This sounds like a mess.

Running the buses does actually lift the bottom up quite a bit, the problem is people who can leave at first opportunity because there are real costs.

Real busing works, but it doesn’t last because people vote with their feet (or neighborhoods disincorporate to break off from the school system)[/quote]
