[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]Ha, where did you get this idea?? Deal has the lowest per student funding of any middle school in the city (including the at risk/ Sped/ etc funding). http://dcpsbudget.ourdcschools.org/. The PTA raises less than $200,000 - which is less 1% of the school DCPS budget. 
Wilson gets less funding per student than all other high schools by a wider margin. Wilson has raised less than $50,000 - .003% of its budget. There is no Cadillac anything.[/i]

Deal and Wilson get less funding per student BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE FEWEST AT-RISK STUDENTS as a percentage of enrollment.

You want more money, find a way to shove in more poor and disadvantaged kids.

They are also behemoths in terms of the number of students compared to every other school in the city and should be able to achieve a LOT with economies of scale (plus, the low numbers of low income students). The should have the lowest per pupil funding in the city.[/quote]

Sure, I don't disagree - but the up thread pp was saying that these schools have Cadillac experiences and are flush with cash. That is simply not the case. And being large has some economies of scale -- and some situations where it works against you. [/quote]
