[quote=Anonymous]Lots of poorer kids live in Ward 4 and in Ward 1. In fact, Columbia Heights has more public housing than any other part of the city. And lots of kids from Ward 6 attending Latin. Location is just one factor influencing where students enroll. The uniform sale offered tons of used uniforms for very little money. And I saw lots of parents buying the uniforms. Also don't forget families whose kids don't wear uniforms still need to buy clothes for their kids. The would still be a cost associated with the purchase. For example, BASIS kids don't wear uniforms and the demographics are similar to Latin. I think the argument that uniforms deter kids from applying to a school is questionable.[/quote]
