[quote=Anonymous] From the article - In Brooklyn, many families, affluent and poor, were happy with their placements when they were announced last spring. But 45 children were assigned to Charles O. Dewey, the middle school Sophie is attending, who had not included it anywhere on their ranked list of choices. [b]Enrollment figures indicate most of those students did not show, moving to private or charter schools, or perhaps leaving the district.[/b] The percent of kids from priority groups enrolled in Dewey’s sixth grade class went from 95 percent last year to 92 percent this year. Look if you rezone someone from Whitman to BCC or from Wheaton to Einstein they may not mind. You could probably rezone someone from Einstein to BCC and they would be happy. If you rezone someone to an undesirable school or a school they never selected then they won't show up. You are not going to get Whitman kids at Einstein anymore than Brooklyn could get affluent kids into Dewey. [/quote]
