[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many families would choose the suburbs if it weren't for charters....middle class families are staying in the city more because of charters, even if they can't afford inner Cap Hill or Ward 3. [/quote] Right but there are charters where the % low income is way below the overall school age population in DC (YY, LAMB, MV...) -- so how is that helping? In effect these are private schools paid for by taxpayers.[/quote] YY 11%, LAMB 24%, MV 28% my DCPS title 1: 70%[/quote] I wasn't aware that very low SES people placed a high value on their children learning Mandarin. And though YY might be "only" 11% Title 1, it is very well integrated, with "whites" making up 31.4% of the student body (vs 34.2% for AA and 19.5% muliracial). Is that "too white"?[/quote]
