[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Better Question, perhaps even a new thread - how do schools determine Free and Reduced Lunch Status or simply the Socioeconomic Status of it’s students? My kid has been in Charter and Public schools for now over 9 years and I have never received a form or survey or anything asking that information. How do Public’s and Charters even know?

I don’t have a kid at Burroughs but I imagine with the large amount of gentrification and the constant elimination of public housing in the Brookland neighborhood that the school population reflects that change. Am I wrong to assume this? The population of Brookland has changed over the years and Burroughs should have too.? Maybe?

If it is over 40% all kids get free lunch, so you would not be asked for your status. [/quote]

They determine whether a school is eligible for the Community Eligibility Program (that Pp referenced above) based on the previous year's enrollment. The form is here on the DCPS website. Many schools do require you to fill it out.

I've had kids in DC charter schools since 2004 and still have one there now. We have had to fill out the form every single year, including the years when our charter was Title 1.

The DCPS community eligibilty schools for 2019-20 are here: https://dcps.dc.gov/node/1037772

FWIW the CEP program was created by the Obama Administration. The Trump Administration is trying to end it.
