[quote=Anonymous]People are always forgetting about the factor of per-pupil funding vis a vis the No Child Left Behind requirement that students at failing schools be given the option to transfer to a performing school. That's what sent a lot of kids WOTP in the mid-2000s. The more students enrolled, the more money a school gets, and the better they do, the more autonomy they have for unique programming. It's a nice virtuous cycle, which "engaged" parents are riding, not pushing. Exactly the opposite happens in the schools that lost these students. The ridiculous PS-8 and 6-12 education campus were brought into play to consolidate student populations. The needs of 7th grader are very different from a preschooler, but there just aren't enough of them in a school to get even the basics. By the way, DC is not even in the top ten for per pupil funding: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/06/07/states-spending-education/10083569/ [/quote]
