[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, the N<10 thing is annoying because it masks a lot of detail, and so many schools are small enough that 9 kids is a significant portion of a class. [b]But I guess limiting detail is the point[/b].

I filtered for Ns of 10 and up, and here's what I noticed.

Bancroft sent 21 kids to CHEC from 5th.
Brent sent 24 kids to Latin (both combined) and only 10 to BASIS.
Lots of people leave Deal and Hardy for "Not in audit", and not just after 8th. 
10 kids left Stokes EE PK4 for "Not in audit"-- wow that's a lot of attrition from one grade level with only two classes. Ditto Garrison.
LAMB sent 18 5th graders to DCI, seems like that's not a whole lot but I guess they had a small class.
Truesdell sent 28 kids to Paul after 5th.
[b]Two Rivers middle isn't capturing a big slice of the 5th grade class at either campus-- like 70%.[/b]
Almost all YY 5th graders go to DCI.
17 out of 79 Watkins kids went to BASIS.

I don't work for OSSE or the city government but I think the bolded is unfair and incorrect. If the idea was to hide access to data they wouldn't have published this. The N<10 is the policy for almost all DC school data in order to ensure they don't run afoul of educational privacy laws. [/quote]

Both campuses appear to lose quite a number of students YoY beginning in 3rd grade. That's an earlier trend than other charters and a year earlier than decline due to Latin/Basis.[/quote]
