[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NO ONE IS ARGUING THAT THE BEST SCHOOLS BE FILLED WITH AT-RISK STUDENTS. Argh.

DC es exploring (at most) an at-risk preference for 10% of seats at school with small numbers of at-risk students. [/quote]

And for the last time are you going to tell someone that plopped $1 million plus on their house that they can't attend their neighborhood school

[b]All the best schools are completely filled with inbound[/b]

Bunch of liberals with no critical thinking skills on here[/quote]

There is no DCPS school that is completely filled with IB students. None. No IB families will be shut out for a compulsory grade.

Deal - 70% IB
Lafayette - 88% IB
Brent - 65% IB

All we are talking about is trying to ensure that 10% of total students in the school are at risk.

The folks who would be affected by this are the OOB students from higher SES families who lottery to secure a seat in a desirable school.[/quote]

The Deal number is misleading because virtually all OOB kids get in through feeder rights. For practical purposes Deal takes no kids in the lottery. [/quote]

A lot of this data is old, which goes to a problem. How can you try to solve this problem when the data you are using is years old? Not sure why it is hard to be up to date (or at least provide last year's data). [/quote]
