[quote=Anonymous]I took a quick look through the spreadsheet to identify schools with poor retention. I only looked at charter elementaries just to get the data set down to a manageable size. Since most schools send n<10 students to any single other school, I'm using the number of different destination schools as a proxy for attrition.

Something's not quite right in Breakthrough's data, the number of kids staying at the school in the upper grades is "*" for K and 1st. Dunno what that means.

Tons of outflow from Eagle Academy and Ingenuity Prep.

Center City schools seem to have few kids and a lot of departures. Same for Harmony and Hope Community Tolson, and I Dream-- sometimes the number of kids *staying* at the school is n<10. Bethune also isn't doing great there.

Lots of attrition from CMI, to all over the city. Ditto DC Prep. Some KIPP schools have a lot of outflow but I don't have a good handle on their grade arrangements across schools.

Lee is retaining better than I thought, or else their outflow is clustered in a few schools.  SSMA is not doing great, but we knew that.

Rocketship has a lot of attrition, especially Rise.

Two Rivers 4th's retention into 5th and 6th grade is better than I was expecting. It's hard to tell, there don't seem to be a lot of destination schools for Two Rivers but I have to assume it's more than n=1 to each. TRY is retaining better than I thought.

For DCPS, I'd highlight Savoy, Turner, Langdon, Langley, Noyes, Wheatley, JOW, Miner, Watkins, Barnard, Height, Truesdell, Aiton, and Nalle.
