[quote=Anonymous]I don't want a charter/DCPS war. But I think it's hard to dispute that DC's very high family-age real estate demand means that people are moving in to many neighborhoods regardless of schools in Wards 1, 4, and 5 and elsewhere as well. If those areas did not have accessible charter schools, the demographics of neighborhood schools would likely already have changed enough to make gentrifiers (not pejorative) comfortable in those schools, and would continue to change up the grades as these families engage with DCPS grade by grade and school by school. Judge the benefits and downsides of a situation without a "charter safety valve" in a hot real estate market for yourself, but I think it is an accurate indicator of what would have happened but for charter availability.[/quote]
