[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The racial achievement gap is astounding.

According to http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/dems2.pdf there were about 93 African American kids in charters in the district who scored a 5 on math and about 91 white kids, despite white kids only making up 6% of the student body at charters in those grades.  In ELA, there were more white kids than black ones who scored a 5, even though whites are 5% of the enrollment (I don't know why whites were 5% for ELA and 6% for math).  Is it just that well-off AA students go private and well-off white students use charters?    [/quote]

There just aren't that many well off AA students in the district. That would be my guess to start. Consider that 75% of the city's students are economically disadvantaged.[/quote]

Maybe not well off but there are plenty of solid middle income/upper middle income black families in the city. Our school is 50% black but only 15% low income. I am AA at a charter but most of my black friends go private or WOTP. Some moved to Moco.[/quote]
