[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are these numbers coming from?  I'd like to see more granular data, particularly a demographic breakdown of students at the Eastern feeders who go on to BASIS, along with at-risk percentages. I'd also like to see the same break-down for Latin and Latin Cooper.

At Brent, our in-boundary school, around 2/3 of the UMC students leave after 4th grade every year, with almost all those leaving running to BASIS or the Latins. The poor minority kids tend to stay for 5th before moving on to Jefferson Academy. Is this trend really of no concern to DCPS or the city council?[/quote]

The data is coming from DCPS  https://dme.dc.gov/page/download-data. If you want to see the data fire up your MS Excel and do some filtering.

It does not include demographic data. The demographic data of the schools you reference are (or in the case of Cooper, soon will be) public. You can pretty easily extrapolate the at-risk.

Just for fun I dug into your belief that "around 2/3 of the UMC students leave after 4th grade every year, with almost all those leaving running to BASIS or the Latins". Brent sent fewer than 10 kids to Latin last year (DCPS doesn't report anything less than 10 so we don't know the actual #). 11 Brent 5th graders attended BASIS last year. Against an audited enrollment of 54 4th graders from SY20-21 (the grade that is reflected in the 21-22 BASIS/Latin enrollment data) that dropped to 34 enrolled 5th graders in SY21-22, we know that means a large percentage of the @20 kids who left went to BASIS or Latin.
