[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wealthy people moved out of DC. Very easy explanation [/quote] Obviously incorrect, though. Wealthy people never sent their kids to KIPP in noticeable numbers, and the public and charter schools where they send their kids are not experiencing the dropping scores that KIPP is seeing. [/quote] Yglesias even has another article on that stack backing your statement up. DC is unusual in that the people moving in put their kids in DCPS (at least for elementary)[/quote] It might be worth exploring whether the problem is actually wealthy people moving in to DC, but not into KIPP, ie, maybe gentrification is disproportionately pushing out the type of middle class or aspiring middle class families who historically preferred KIPP, leaving KIPP with a harder-to-educate population.
