[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting graphs. These data put into question the notion of some on these boards that charters are "eviscerating" DCPS. DCPS enrollment has been relatively flat or grown slightly for the past several years, while charters have continued to grow.[/quote] Not really. How many neighborhood dcps schools have been shut down, stunting what might be actual growth in the public schools? And if population is growing, but the playing field has been tilted to ensure the charters grow at the expense of public schools. With all the gentrification and demographics shifts, this should be the rebirth of neighborhood schools across the city, which make each neighborhood even stronger and more stable. But the charters are preventing that from happening. [/quote] Sounds like the DME is preventing that from happening.[/quote]
