[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]These are the numbers I got from Mary Cheh's office:

Percent in Ward 3 
Deal MS	37% 
Eaton ES	32% 
Hearst ES	21% 
Janney ES	89% 
Key ES	93% 
Mann ES	94% 
Murch ES	77% 
Oyster-Adams BS	26% 
Stoddert ES	66% 
Wilson HS	21% [/quote]

Different poster, not previously involved in the argument (which I frankly am not following too closely), with a question for the person who posted this info from Cheh's office:  What is your understanding of what these percentages represent?  In other words, what's the numerator and what's the denominator?

1. Do you think they show the percentage of students living in Ward 3 who at each school?  In that case, for example for Deal, the numerator would be Ward 3 students at Deal, and the denominator would be total Deal-eligible students in Ward 3.

2. Do you think they show the percentage of Deal students who live in Ward 3?  In that case, for example for Deal, the numerator would be students at Deal who currently live in Ward 3, and the denominator would be total number of students at Deal.

3. [Something else?]

Looking at these percentages, I don't see how they can square with the other percentages linked in this thread.  But maybe if you clarify what you think they represent, we can work together to see if they make sense.[/quote]

#2. I think I've said that about five times.

I don't know of any publicly available source where you can get the numerator, or even estimate it.[/quote]

Then how can you make the statement you do without knowing? Weird. [/quote]
