[quote=Anonymous]I was on the Donor's Choose website because it's one of my favorite charities and I love to give help teachers get the supplies they need! On a whim I did a zip code search to pull up the schools closest to my neighborhood. One of the school projects that popped up was Brent Elementary. I was a little surprised to see Brent described as "high poverty" when in fact only 11% of the students qualify for Free or Reduced Meals. I don't begrudge DC teachers for wanting to get much needed supplies especially ones that can't be purchases at an office supply store but it did seem unfair to portray Brent as something it's not in order to get supplies.[/quote]
