[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Answer me this: According to the Office of Planning, DC has 96,250 school-age residents. According to the DME, between DCPS and charters there are 91,484 public school students. Enrollment data from private schools show that roughly 5% of DC kids go to private school. So if there is widespread fraud, where are the kids? The only explanation I can think of is that an equivalent number of kids are fraudulently going to school in Maryland. [/quote] 5% of 96,250 + 91484 is 96296. Given that you said "roughly 5%" and a tiny tweak would make the result exactly 96,250, is it possible that the Office of Planning figure for school-age residents is simply derived from the enrollment data?[/quote] A fair question. OP gets its numbers from the Census Bureau, which does a physical count of every person in the country every decade and continually surveys to update those numbers with estimates every year. [/quote]
