[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really have no idea how this works, do you?  JKLMM schools are 90+% IB students overall.  Charters don't have neighborhood preference, so they truly represent all parts of the District, although travel of course becomes a consideration so probably more people apply from reasonable travel distance than from far away.  But they have vastly more ward-diversity than any JKLMM.  Apparently you also aren't at any of the charter schools you named, because if you were, you'd know that the Ward 3 or JKLMM students are vastly in the minority, where they got in at all.  [/quote]

If you're going to try to call somebody out, you better come correct.

Let's break it down with the stats:
Murch IB percentage: 66%
Janney IB percentage: 92%
Key IB percentage: 84%
Mann IB percentage: 86%
Lafayette IB percentage: 85%

http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Compare.aspx?tab=1&school=254,272,273,287 (This link does not include stats for Lafayette because the DCPS tool only allows you to compare four schools)

Even a cursory glance at these numbers shows that the statistic you presented is wrong.

Different poster, but even if other PP was wrong about 90%, take your own advice and come correct with the corresponding charter school %s of students who are IB for JKLMM but choose charters.  YOu claimed upthread that it's their presence that helps boost charters, but their numbers are hardly big enough to have that effect.  Come correct with the charter data that proves your point.[/quote]

Yeah. Actually, if you took the time to read my post and analyze it, I asked for the PP to provide evidence for their claim, which they didn't. They only provided a sweeping statement that they painted as truth. I called them on it, and provided actual statistics to show how their point was invalid.

You should come correct, and not read meaning into my post so that you can do your best to create the wittiest comeback. It didn't work. However, I will concede that in my first post, I was vague when I spoke about demographics, which I think is where a lot of the disconnect lies.[/quote]
