[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PK3/4 has helped DC retain high income (and tax-paying families). The city should make the program more accessible due to its popularity.[/quote]
It was created for low income residents. To help the kids get school ready. It is/was a better option than head start. And most truly high SES don't even stress about PS lottery. We just keep our kids in private and move along.[/quote]

It seems popular with people in so-called gentrifying areas and/or can't afford private school options. The truly high-income people ie. Ward 3 don't seem to participate at similar rates as the rest of the population. Look at the popularity of charters with certain types of whites.[/quote]

Anyone who opened a good private school in NE would make a killing.  I've thought about starting a good charter school just so my kids would be guaranteed admission somewhere respectable.  We're certainly not Upper Caucasia rich, but far too comfortable to qualify for any assistance at a good private.   Got completely boned in the lottery.  [/quote]
