If the neighborhood is gentrifying then the school is gentrifying too (although lagged by some amount). It's happening all over the city. But it also happens very slowly. If you're not comfortable with the current FARMS percentages now, then is a few percent different really going to matter?
Exactly.
its about seeing the trends. and they can be self fulfilling. If parents seem some transistion in the numbers then the may be more likely to committ in the future.

By design? What exactly would be the reason for hiding it?
I doubt not posting the data until November (or whenever it is ready) is "by design" but your question in response raises another for me:
What exactly is your reason for wanting it?
NP. I want to see it because I want to know the demographics in DCPS by school. Why else would someone want it?

The don't change that much from year to year. Go to learnDC.org, pick a school and click on profile/enrollment. You can even sort by grade level - which you can't do from the DCPS profile pages.

They didn't post demographic data or test scores on the DCPS school profiles pages until mid November. I kept checking and it wasn't there.
