[quote=Anonymous]Also worth noting that Capital City Lower School (one of the top 4 charter elementaries in all of DC) went from 38.1% low income in 2010-2011 to 48.1% low income in 2011-2012. That 48.1% is lower than what was reported to me when I interviewed them about it, but obviously I'd go with what they publicly state it to be. The main point being: the idea that these schools are DECREASINGLY low income makes sense in theory (given the INcreasing numbers of middle/upper income families choosing to put their kids in), but several of the most popular charters are showing the opposite trend: the numbers of low income students are INCREASING. EL Haynes: 48.9% low income in 2010-2011 EL Haynes: 58.7% low income in 2011-2012 So you hold K slots back or make families start the lottery all over again, and yes, odds are, you are negatively impacting a low income family already in P-K who would have had that slot.[/quote]
