Was there something in the paper that I missed about a 10% cap or trigger for the preference or is this your personal solution?[/quote]

10% was the number proposed during the last boundary review. [/quote]

I think somebody just threw 10% out.  Here's the recommendations from the boundary review - you'll see 25% or less is the trigger.

Placement Priorities for Students Designated “At Risk”

Recommendation 23: Starting in SY2016–2017, any DCPS zoned, DCPS citywide (nonselective)
and public charter school that has a student body consisting of 25 percent or less at-risk
students shall give priority to “at-risk” students for 25 percent of available seats in the lottery for a
given year.

Implementing this recommendation for public charter schools will require a change in law and
engagement with additional stakeholders.

Recommendation 24: Starting in SY2016–2017, DCPS selective schools shall provide a
priority for at-risk students who meet the admissions criteria for the selective school. Prior to
implementation, DCPS should convene appropriate stakeholders, including community members,
parents, students, and school staff (including those from selective schools) to determine the details
of this policy.

The MySchool DC Report correctly uses 25%.

And from the report, here's the list of schools that meet the 25% or less at-risk -
