[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS spends 35k per student system wide not only at Oyster but at Amidon too.  However, that includes money spent on sp Ed and all the admins at headquarters and facilities costs.  19k for charters includes their sp Ed costs, facilities, etc.  too.  Yes, charters have sp ed kids which they have to provide FAPE just like DCPS but have to do it with less money.

Despite the inherent unfairness in funding, charters are doing well including Kipp.

I looked it up. Oyster has $11,391 per student - this data point comes straight from the budget:

Thank you!  So it appears that comparing Oyster to other immersion charters, at least based on funding, is an apples to apples comparison after all.  As a matter of fact, Oyster appears to be doing more with less (as far as DCPS funding goes) than its charter peers. However, Oyster does get a lot of additional funding from parents.  So I guess if the principal were to get her way (when hell freezes) and the school moves to Petworth or some such neighborhood, we can expect the scores to sink according.  [/quote]
