I think across the board, it is still close to 75% - but there will be families that decide they need something else for their kid so that by the time they get to 5th grade, classmates are now at .... NCS, Holton, Blessed Sacrament, Lab, Siena, Latin and BASIS
Thanks for this. I figured many people off for middle school, so just looking for anecdotal “data” on which neighborhoods are swing heavily public in the ES years.
Sorry for typos! Hope my prior post was clear enough. Must finish coffee before DCUM-ing…

Good shout. I also wonder if it’s the schools on Capitol Hill.

Yeah, this isn't true at all. Poor neighborhoods send WAY more kids to charters.

Not quite true.
In the rich neighborhoods, you'll find a lot of kids going to private school. Thats why schools like Hyde-Addison have so much room for OOB students.
Charters are also very popular in wards 7 and 8 -- not the bougie charters, but those that focus on helping lower-income families, like KIPP, DC Prep and DC Scholars. These are better options than DCPS in those neighborhoods (and have better outcomes).

OP here. That’s right. Hence why I’m asking this question here!
Why do you think anyone here has this data?

Feels like this is true of Lafayette area, but where else?
