[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is it a numerical drop or a proportional drop? [/quote] According to the chart in the OP link, it is a numerical drop. According to the chart, the number of White, Non-Hispanic students enrolled dropped from 68,849 in 2000 to 46,604 in 2016. [/quote] Interesting! I'll bet some of it is white families staying in DC since the big drop comes right around the time DC implemented free preK and expanded the charter effort. Some of it is probably fewer kids identifying as only white, and some of it is just demographic shifts nationwide. Interestingly, the number of Black kids isn't rising quickly, nor the number of Asian kids. The only group with real growth is Hispanics, which is almost certainly related to turmoil in Central and South America over the past decade. [/quote] More white families going private / parochial, staying in DC, or moving to Howard.[/quote]
