[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students in-boundary for Tyler/Chisholm who do not want a Spanish immersion program now have boundary privileges at Payne starting in K. That might partially explain the increase in the number of students at Payne.[/quote]

Does that include either Hopkins or Potomac Gardens?[/quote]

Yup. Both. [/quote]

I am very surprised that Payne opted into EAP the same year they're going to start getting Tyler non-Spanish folks by right. Could be a large change to the demographics of incoming classes.[/quote]

Few comments - I think it is intentional on Payne's part. I get the impression they realize that their in boundary housing stock is not the most affordable, and this is a way to combat (or at least slow down) what happened at Maury. Not to say the merge over there was the best proposal, but the current state of racial/income segregation was so stark it at least warrants a closer look/conversation. 
Interesting conversation will be in 4-5 years as more housing keeps getting built east of 19th street, all IB for Payne. There are several families coming to Payne from the two new buildings already.
Who knows how many kids in the 24-25 class will opt for Payne instead of Tyler/Chisolm, it will only be kindergarten. I have not looked at lottery numbers for Tyler/Chisolm, did making the whole kinder Spanish change the amount of in boundary/out of boundary spots?[/quote]

IMO, EA will have a pretty marginal impact on neighborhood elementary demographics. Look at this year's waitlist data for Payne. 4 students offered a spot with EA preference out of 68 total PK seats. It really doesn't change much for IB students without EA preference: those with "good" lottery numbers are still getting in wherever they want, including Payne, and those with "bad" lottery numbers will end up somewhere they prefer less than Payne and still opt into Payne at K.

I don't really understand what you're trying to get at with the comparison to Maury/Miner. Tyler already has a slightly lower at-risk percentage than Payne, and that trend (driven by OOB students?) is likely to continue as they move to full dual language.[/quote]
