[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JOW gets massacred by the proximity of L-T, 2R & CHML; those schools are walkable not for a few JOW families, but basically the whole boundary. Then MV is also walkable for many families. It’s just a totally different set up than WOTP.[/quote]

You actually missed the 2nd most attended school after TR4 - 27 kids at SWS from the JO catchment. In total 134 kids at these walkable charter and citywide schools. More than the 127 who attend JOW. I'm not even including TRY and YY since those aren't walkable. Data below.

Two Rivers PCS - 4th Street	62
School-Within-School @ Goding	27
Capitol Hill Montessori School @ Logan	16
Ludlow-Taylor Elementary School	15
Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - J.F. Cook	14

Agree with both of the last two comments. The city really set both LT and JOW up to fail with SWS & CHML plus charters. There’s just nothing remotely like that if you’re WOTP. LT’s rise is actually pretty incredible in that context and I hope JOW can get something similar going post-renovation.[/quote]

Failure is relative and likely based on when a person entered the city or started looking at the history. In the last ten years, JOW enrollment has grown 15% and the Black population has dropped 20%. There are more families choosing JOW even as there are those choosing other options. I could be wrong but it often seems that the schools that have moved much faster have a faster growing White enrollment. [/quote]
