[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peabody/Watkins decline in IB participation reflects a lot of people peeling off for L-T, Maury, or Brent when they can get in by lottery (and in many cases they have proximity preference due to the very weird Peabody/Watkins boundary).

But it actually really surprises me that they are still 52% IB. I would have predicted lower. I would love to see that broken down by campus (does it just reflect the continued popularity of Peabody for ECE?). 52% puts it only slightly below L-T (55%) and Brent (60%), which is not what I would have expected.[/quote]

Can you link to the data that you're looking at?[/quote]

Scroll to the bottom for an .xlsx spreadsheet: https://edscape.dc.gov/page/enrollments-dcps-boundary-00[/quote]

Yes, consistent with my prior belief, this data shows L-T has a IB participation rate of 61.2%, while Brent has 72.1%, so 10% and 20% more than Watkins (at the correctly described 52.1%). That's why I was confused... Also, both L-T and Brent (even more so) get affected by ECE kids who don't get in and therefore *can't* (as opposed to choose not to) participate; Peabody/Watkins increasingly does not have this phenomenon.[/quote]

Also, the Peabody/Watkins data is VERY off. It says only 267 kids live IB for Watkins, which is orders of magnitude too low (100 less than Brent and 200 less than L-T??? No chance. Look at the relative sizes of the zones in what is basically the same neighborhood).[/quote]
