[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you really need to look at is the percentage of 4th graders at places like Brent, Maury and Watkins who bail for charters for 5th. The total number of kids in charters doesn't really mean that much. If they're distributed evenly across schools, sure, no worries. But if EOTP schools are filling these charters, you have a real argument that charters are hurting DCPS's chances. [/quote]

I think those 3 are geographic anomalies -- but not everyone who leaves Brent, Maury and Watkins after 4th is going to a charter school. Some are going to WOTP schools, some are leaving the city, some are going private and some go to a charter middle school. ANd many come back to DCPS for high school.

In wards 4, 5, 7 and 8 a good portion of IB families don't even use their IB schools for ES. So in the eyes of DCPS the Brent/Maury/Watkins situation isn't the crisis you think it is.

There are schools in ward 4 that have high IB just like there are schools in ward 6 that do as well. Not cool to lump all wards but then isolate Cap Hill schools.[/quote]
