funny.  I wouldn't be caught dead enrolling my child at a DC private that touches vouchers with a 10 foot pole. Your outcomes would be on par with random neighborhood school[/quote]

Interesting.  I wonder if they each take a token voucher or two, or a significant percentage of students via vouchers?  In other words, is this a real option for parents, or not really if a tiny tiny fraction of applicants benefit?[/quote]

That isn't disclosed -- and certainly any student who qualifies for the voucher is going to need an addl financial aid award from most of these schools to be able to afford it. And, they have to have the smarts to get in.
