your post is incorrect.

1) DCPS enrollment may be down but Janney's enrollment is up 25% over the past 2 years (2010-2012).   It's test scores have continually out performed ANY of the charters.
2) Only a handful of neighborhood kids attend charters.  Janney is not losing kids to the charters except for maybe 5 kids to Yu Ying (because of the Mandarin, not general quality)  [b]94% of the neighborhood kids attend Janney. [/b] The remaining 6% is almost entirely private. 95% of Janney kids will go on to deal.  There is no longer any 3rd or 5th grade exodus.
3) I doubt anyone in AU park is underwater.  Prices are back to their pre-2008 levels and are rising 5% each year.  Most people are sitting on $300-400K of equity (because they bought pre 2003). 
4) The OOB kids at Janney are (to a person) from involved families that just happen to reside outside of AU Park.  The white/black achievement gap at Janney is closing rapidly over the past 2 years and is the best in the city.  And quite of the few black families live within AU Park.

in general I agree with you - but where did you get the 94%.  I know of a few kids on our block who attend private schools and charter schools. [/quote]
