[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it, but DCPS incremental progress is reflected in the increased charter applications.  Not all ECE or MS options are desirable, but enough of them are sought out or acceptable that it's getting harder to gain sought after OOB spaces.  That's at least partially driving increased charter applications, even though there are additional factors (immersion,  Montessori, rigorous curriculum, etc)[/quote]

This is the tipping point that DCPS ihas been waiting for -- new charter growth has been curtailed, in large part due to facilities challenges. DCPS is gambling that these motivated families who are shut out of charters and the traditionally stronger DCPS options will finally decide to enroll at EH, Brookland, CHEC, Cardozo, MacFarland and so forth in next couple years..

MacFarland has a waitlist for its new dual-language program. PP's hunch might right.[/quote]

Where are you seeing that data? Is DCPS wait list information out? [/quote]

It's not public yet. Enrollment is what really counts though.[/quote]
