[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The housing going up will not be attractive to families with 12 year olds. And the people who go public for elementary will do what most of Ward 6 does - lottery to charters, go private/parochial or move. It may turn but it will take a very long time.[/quote]

This.

DCPS has officially ceded middle schools to the charter community.   There are now more public school students in middle school charters than middle school DCPS.

Interestingly, there are now also more PreK students in charters than DCPS.  The vote of NO CONFIDENCE in DCPS is getting louder and clearer.

(So why do we have to waste hundreds of millions on sinkholes like Roosevelt and Coolidge?)[/quote]

Because DCPS enrollment goes back up (compared to charters) for 9th. [/quote]

It doesn't at Coolidge.  That's almost $200 million for maybe 50 graduating seniors.[/quote]

Coolidge 346 kids

Washington Latin 335 kids

Basis DC 137 High school kids

Make sure I get this right.  I'm a charter and you have to apply to my school and I can choose who gets in.  I'm a DCPS school that's ranked low and get some of the kids that D.C. Basis and Washington Latin do not take.  Yea, that's why DCPS more than likely spends more in high schools than middle schools as it seems that charters are focusing on Middle Schools.  All information backs this up.  Jefferson is the school that people should want to attend "if DCPS wants to put the necessary programs in place to make that a reality" in Southwest D.C.  As the previous post mentioned [b]Because DCPS enrollment goes back up (compared to charters) for 9th[/b]  That's fact and even as bad as people say it is and a few others.  It's still more enrolled than Latin, and Basis.  These are from what people say on here are highly regarded high school charters.  If their others that are highly regarded "i'm confident their enrollment numbers are low".   [/quote]
