[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the OOB is coming from JR feeder. Some from Oyster-Adams. [/quote]
That seems unlikely given that MacArthur will qualify as a Title 1 school next year, indicating that at least 40% of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch.[/quote]

This.  I recall someone said it’s 20% white and majority black 70-80% which in this town is a proxy for SES.[/quote]

Wow. There is no close metro and the buses are infrequent. Too bad there are no real neighborhood schools in DC. They're all overcrowded and loud.[/quote]

In another few years it will mirror the demographics at Hardy, which is 40% white, 12% at-risk, and 64% in bound. OOB families coming from the feeders are committed to their kids education, which is why they are driving across town for elementary or middle school. It will be a smaller version of JR with comparable offerings and performance, just like Hardy is to Deal now. [/quote]

If it will be Title I next year, sounds like it is trending the other way. [/quote]

nah. you can't be a title I year school the first year. you need demographic data from the prior year for it.[/quote]

+1. A new school with grandfathering rights to the old school will take a few years to level out. DCPS was correct in only allowing dual rights to Mac and JR initially. There simply aren’t enough private school seats to absorb all of Hardy, nor do all parents want private, so once it’s through the first few years, the demographics will catch up to the other public schools in the same geographic region.[/quote]
