[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never put it the way incendiary PP put it. But as with most polemic statements there IS a kernel of truth in there. The schools that are measurably "improving" over time in DCPS and have stayed that way (ie, it wasn't ErasureGate) have "improved" because of gentrification. The former residents didn't kill each other with stolen handguns, but they did indeed move away and were replaced by younger college-educated white, black and Hispanic white residents who don't have babies at 13 (girl) or drop out at 13 (both) or join a gang at 13 (boy). Show one single DCPS where this demographic shift wasn't behind the "school" "improving".[/quote] I can't help but notice that not a single school has been offered up here. Interesting.[/quote] Powell looks like it has been improving without a demographic shift.[/quote]
