[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overcrowding leads to lower outcomes for all students, more so for lower SES due to the lack of supplementation/enrichment outside of school. Can DC achieve integrated schools that are not overcrowded?[/quote] The city can't have all their schools become economically integrated unless a lot more high-income kids move into DC and more of the ones who are already here choose public vs. private school, and/or a lot more low-income kids move out of DC. However, they could have a lot more schools that are no more than, say, 25% at risk if they changed their boundary and enrollment policies. The problem is that the families who would be moved from schools with 8% at risk to schools with 25% at risk FREAK OUT at losing what they think they have a right to, and elected officials often don't have the courage to tell those families to suck it up.[/quote]
