[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's a little frustrating that in order to attend DCI you must already win the charter lotteries for the feeder schools; it basically locks students out if they don't win early on. [b]Talk about the cycle of poverty....[/quote] [/b] You mean like Stokes, which is 69% free and reduced meal students? Or DC Bilingual, which is 85%? The other schools have a higher percentage of middle and higher income families, yes, but none of them are below 30% FARM. There is this pernicious idea that these schools are somehow only for middle class families. They may have a higher demand from middle class families than other schools, so their pool of lottery applicants is more heavily tilted in that direction. But that doesn't mean they don't have major appeal for lower income families also. [/quote] Not true. LAMB is well below 30%. Yu Ying is below 20%.[/quote]
