[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real answer is because they want to try to acquire native speaker families to support their immersion model and they know if they are in the common lottery every white gentrifier will mindlessly click the button to add them to their list.

I know this is the reason stated. Does anyone have any data on this to suggest if it still holds true? [/quote]

There is no publicly reported data for native speakers for charters (DCPS runs 2 lotteries for its immersion schools so their balance is 50-50).

We can sort of get a sense by using the percentage of ELL students as a rough proxy for native speakers (I know it isn't perfect since not every ELL student comes from a Spanish-spekaing household). Here is how LAMB compares to the other dual language Spanish charter schools.

From enrollment audit 17-18 - ELL students/Total students

LAMB
167/462 - 36%

MV 
122/578 - 21%

DCB
200/440 - 45%

Stokes (with the French / Spanish it is even a worse comparison... but someone will ask)
25/350 - 7%
