[quote=Anonymous]DC also has a relatively small population of school-age kids. According to the 2014 census (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/11000.html) the country as a whole was 17.1% between the ages of 5 and 18, DC was 11.0%. A large number of those kids are either very rich or very poor. DC doesn't have a large middle class constituency for schools, which is what is the usual driver in places where public schools are good. In fact, it doesn't take much observation of public education to find actions that seem to put the interests of the adults involved in public education ahead of the kids.[/quote]
