[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very shocked that this Montessori School that claims that it wants to serve underserved children is still locating in gentrification central.

Very shocked.
(not shocked at all)[/quote]

Shut up.[/quote]

Does it hurt when someone points out your hypocrisy?[/quote]

Why cant a school also serve higher SES children?[/quote]

It can. But Breakthrough's application, more than many others, made a big point of saying they wanted to come to DC and bring a Montessori education to disadvantaged children, because the other Montessori schools (LAMB, Lee and SS weren't serving those families). They projected and said they were committed to serving a high need population.

Once the charter was approved, they opened temporarily in Petworth and have a mostly affluent student body (of the 81 students enrolled, the percentage of students who are economically disadvantaged is not even knowable, because it is less than 10 students). Now because they are established there, they will prioritize staying in Petworth.

Where are you getting your information, you're not even close.....They have over 90 students in the building.  You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.  Thanks for playing, try again next time! [/quote]

Well OSSE is only paying them for 81 children, so there's that.  http://osse.dc.gov/node/1223876
