[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pushing the families of professionals out of the city is simply unacceptable.  For many of us, whether feds, contractors, policy people, NGO folks - our work is here in DC.  It's not in Dayton Ohio or Pocatello Idaho.  If something has to give, that can't be it.[/quote]

So, you'll either be 1) enrolling in your IB school (as we have done, with its 99% FARMS rate); 2) enroll in private; or 3) start your own charter school (good luck with this one). None of these options involve DCPS doing anything, unless through #1 you're able to exercise enough leadership to secure resources and engage the school in meaningful improvement which accrue to the benefit of all students.

It's not truly 99% FARM, that is a data point given once they've already crossed the threshold [/quote]

Fair enough, but DCPS' own data shows it's only 1% white, and I know my neighbors who attend use food stamps and housing vouchers, which seems pretty representative of the school. So if not literally 99%, I suspect it's pretty close.[/quote]
