[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won’t name the school but our charter had 10 families leave my child’s grade level that I noticed this far on the first day of school. I’m a little sad and disheartened but understand some people leave for work reasons, family reason and other personal reasons. I get it, it’s hard OP, even with DC’s changing demographics. This area is just highly transient. [/quote]

It is a transient area and any school in the area will some people leave for a wide variety of reasons.  But let's not pretend that different schools will have very different movement patterns.  Some have lots of movement after the very early years, others have relative stability through elementary, and others keep relative stability throughout.

There can also be a difference between city and suburb.  Even schools WOTP that are pretty stable have, on the whole, less stability than schools in the close-in suburbs.  Though it is happening less these days, there are still plenty of families who move out of the city (or choose private) for middle or high school.
