[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure you aren't confusing the capture rate (percent of students living in the boundary who attend the school) with the percentage of students at the school who live in-boundary. The latter is a function of building size and some schools are big relative to their population, others smaller, it's not really a measure of quality or "success".[/quote]

If you want to know how many IB attend the assigned school you need to look at Participation rate.

Participation rate: percent of public school students living in each school’s boundary who attend the school (the numerator is the number of  in-boundary students enrolled at the school and the denominator is all grade-specific public school students living in the boundary)[/quote]

Just to clarify though participation rate only includes those that participate in [u]public [/u]school-- aka if you chose hardy or basis but live IB for deal -- This data does not include kids that live in bounds for Deal and go to private. [/quote]

This mean that if they also includes kids that go to private then the participation rate will be even lower.[/quote]

correct. A LOT lower for certain neighborhoods. [/quote]
