"Other" charter schools continue to trounce DCUM's HRCSs.[/quote]

Latin, Basis and YY always get lots of DCUM love. And even DCUM acknowledges that KIPP and DC Prep do a great job.[/quote]

Other charter schools that get "lots of DCUM love" are: LAMB, Stokes, Mundo Verde, Inspired Teaching, Creative Minds, Two Rivers, E.L. Haynes and Cap City.  Where are the high scores to back up the love?  [/quote]

Mundo Verde's students haven't reached testing age yet. [/quote]

Thanks.  What excuse do the other charters have?  Especially LAMB and Stokes--they have been around for at least a decade. [b] And LAMB was even illegally cherry-picking its waitlist[/b]--I guess that still didn't' help.[/quote]

You do realize that LAMB has it written in to their charter that they will balance classes with certain percentage Spanish speaking and non-Spanish speaking children. Thus, they can leapfrog over numbers on the waitlist to reach the next Spanish speaking and non-Spanish speaking child as necessary.

Why so bitter? Did widdums not get a good lottery number? DCUM may love LAMB, MV, etc. but its not like the schools themselves don't have big egos.   [/quote]

No, they can't. It doesn't matter what they have written into their charter, when the law is clear on this. That is illegal. That is why LAMB stopped having two lotteries and doesn't bother asking about Spanish dominance in the application.[/quote]
