[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so wait. DCPS chooses to include demographic info on the school profiles but because someone wonders why DCPS doesn't keep the information it provides up-to-date that makes them racist? Plus, the demographics section is more than about race. That's where you look to see enrollment numbers, percentage of economically disadvantaged, percentage of ELL and in-boundary percentage. Do people really expect families to choose schools without familiarizing themselves with information like this? Sorry if it hurts your sensitivities that families might want to know stats about a school but in the real world this information matters. [/quote]

You can call the school and ask if it's that important to you.  [/quote]

Or...I could expect DCPS to function like a well run, well-monied operation that spends the time and resources to ensure that the informaiton they provide to the public about their schools is up-to-date and accurate. It's facinating to me that in every single thread I've ever read in this forum over the last decade wherever DCPS is criticized there is always some DCPS apologist who pipes in to pooh pooh any criticism, diminish any concern and turn the responsibility back on the parent or other interested party who is asking. why should someone have to call individual schools for this information when it has been provided for years on the school profiles, leading to the expectation that this information will continue to be provided? the question was when will DCPS update the "now very out of date" demographics section. That's the only place on the profile page where total enrollment is provided, for instance. That's a pretty basic and important data point. [/quote]

It’s fascinating to me that you’d rather whine on DCUM instead of picking up the phone.  Isnt that what you do in your day to day life when you can’t find something online?[/quote]
