[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised by the low number of SPED at MV.  For such a big school - that's pretty low.[/quote]

Not as low as Basis.  That's actually quite disturbing, but then they just kick kids out.[/quote]

Actually are quite a few 'higher' performing schools with disturbingly low levels of SPED students.

SWW High School - .7%
Banneker - 2.4%
McKinley - 2%
Ellington - 4.6%

But those are all admissions schools--you have to take a test to get in and have a certain GPA. Plus there's an interview at SWW, an audition at Ellington, etc.  MV and BASIS are lottery schools--they have to take anyone who enters and gets in through the lottery.  So you would expect them to have a higher percentage of special ed kids.  Now maybe sped parents just aren't entering the lottery for those schools.  But it would be weird for sped parents to be much more willing to enter the lottery for LAMB, DC Bilingual, Stokes, etc. and not MV.  [b]Is it possible that MV is just more generous in paying for private placements for sped kids and gets them out of the school?[/b][/quote]

No, it is not.  You are ignorant of the law.  Individual schools don't pay for non-public placements (the correct term, for those taking notes).  OSSE does.   :roll: [/quote]
