[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] From the data, it would seem that as a school raises in profile and its waitlist increases in size, that waitlist would have a greater percent of higher SES students. The result is that the percent disadvantaged will continue to decrease year-by-year for that school.[/quote] Yes and no. Cap City used to have a much higher percentage of high SES students than they do now. Then other charters emerged, they expanded to middle and high school and moved to Ward 4. These things can absolutely change over time. [/quote] The MS/HS expansion didn't hurt them. It just didn't help them. What hurt them was the many new charters more willing to server higher SES interests, and of course leaving Ward 1 for Ward 4 (though to be fair there was never any future for athletics at the Ward 1 location - and sports/teams/clubs/activities matter SO much at that age.[/quote]
