Really interesting, thanks for sharing.

This is a shocking stat: "Since 2008, DCPS has [u]yearly[/u] enrolled 500 to 1,000 additional Hispanic/Latino and White students, while enrolling 600 fewer Black or African American students on average."

Also, it's bizarre that nearly 5% of DCPS students come from "unknown Ward." Even with divorced homes, the kids would be assigned to a Ward of a parent or relative.

It looks like DCPS is seriously considering adding At-Risk preference to the lottery. That said, with OOB seats basically disappearing at all desirable schools within the next 2-4 years, I'm not sure the preference will help all that much. [/quote]

The stat makes perfect sense - 2008 recession.
Law firms imploded.
People who thought they could afford private decided to "try out DCPS" to see if _[insert school name] ____    works for their kid.[/quote]

This is why those of us not IB for Deal and Wilson really do not care that they are crowded due to private school economic refugees. If you don’t want crowding, go back to private like in the good old days.[/quote]
