[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know of any books about the DC public school system? I find this topic really fascinating, and would love to get a full picture of the evolution of DC public schools, historically up through charters, the common lottery, and free PK. It seems like such an interesting case study. Does this exist?[/quote]

Here are some things to read I found online quickly. Tried to give more than one perspective. DC schools desegregation and DC's white (and black) aversion to schooling with the children of DC's poor have been major drivers of DC's white (and black) flight and charters have had a mixed role in the increasing integration of DC's schools. I haven't seen anyone truly get at the different roles that charters and DCPS have in different scenarios in DC based on how the segregated city works in expensive WOTP neighborhoods, gentrifying areas, and in the shunned low-income areas of DC east of the Anacostia.
