[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP doesn't know what she's talking about nor does she now how percentages work.

Participation Rate (meaning % of kids that live in these neighborhoods that use their neighborhood school):

Janney 95%
Key 91%
Mann 96%
Murch 88%
Stoddert 89%
Eaton 72%
Hearst 59%
Oyster 78%
Adams 65%
*Deal 78%
*Wilson 68%

*Deal and Wilson boundaries span across more than ward 3.

Conclusion: most of the kids that live in ward 3 go to school IN ward 3. 
Addendum: I think maybe 3-4 kids may go to SWS, not enough to even mention.

Go back and read the last three pages of the thread. No one except for you ever said anything about a majority of Ward 3 kids going to school outside of Ward 3.

The original claim -- which I made on Page 13 at 22:06 -- was "People in the rest of the city hate that good schools are concentrated in Ward 3 --but [b]most of the kids who attend public school in Ward 3 live in the rest of the city. "

[/b]
At 0:57, also on Page 13, another poster rebutted me: "Most of the people that attend school in W3 do not live outside of ward 3."

At 1:48 I presented my data: Ward 3 percentages for each of the Ward 3 schools, as presented by Mary Cheh, showing that overall only 48% of the kids who go to school in Ward 3 live in Ward 3.

I never said anything about participation rate (which is a bogus statistic anyway).[/quote]

1. This quote is still wrong. 
2. Cheh's numbers are clearly wrong if you use participation rate, IB % or OOB %
3. How is participation rate bogus?[/quote]
