[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Not NYC people. There is not way you can compare. In every other part of the country, you move, you go to new school. Period![/quote]

But this is not every other part of the country.  This is a small city with HUGE income disparity - tiny pockets of concentrated wealth where people don't use the public schools and exponentially more pockets of concentrated poverty where the public schools couldn't possibly close the achievement gap without a middle class pulling them up.

[b]A middle class is what's creating rising EOTP schools.[/b]  That's a need that's particular to DC, and we're right on the edge of it changing it for the better. Churn doesn't help that.[/quote]

I think schools have been rising since before a middle class following took hold.  Take Truesdell for example, do you really think there's a strong middle class in the testing grades (third grade and above)?  I'm sure that having some makes it easier, but the schools seem to be doing something right with or without.[/quote] Truesdell?  Really? You are using it as an example? Sigh![/quote]
