Based on quantitative data like enrollment demand and student academic outcomes, they seem to be at least pulling their weight. When you also factor in the qualitative aspects, expanding further seems like a total no brainer to me. Very happy for tax money to be used/diverted to support these schools.

They won't do as well if they have to take all kids in a boundary throughout the year.  It is much harder than what KIPP is doing, but that is what needs to be done.[/quote]

ha that's twice now I've beem misinterperted what my point is you have these dumb white liberals who are anti-charter who have no idea how much of a success KIPP has been for mostly poor black families[/quote]

I know all too well.  Yes, success for some.  Failure and another year of disrupted education for others.  KIPP systematically pushes out those with behavioral needs, even if rooted in special needs or childhood trauma.  KIPP cherrypicks the easier to serve kids, and it is not an apples-to-apples comparison with DCPS schools that must take by-address admissions all year, in all grades, and serve much greater special needs than KIPP is willing to do.  Check out the recent WHYY article if you need an overview.[/quote]
