[quote=Anonymous]What concerns me about this data is that we're seeing fewer semifinalists in the District than we did five or six years ago. In 2013, there were 7 semifinalists in DC public, 4 from Walls and 3 from Wilson. School choice has exploded in the City in this time-frame, with greater numbers in both traditional schools and the charter sector, yet we're seeing worse outcomes on a standard national measure of school quality. You can claim that the PSAT simply measures parents' income until you're blue in the face without excusing these lackluster results. I'm not buying that every semifinalist in this Metro area comes from an affluent home and attends a school where PSAT test prep is stressed and you shouldn't either. [/quote]
