Mary Macleod Bethune: 100% low income
DC Bilingual: 84.7% low income
Stokes is also heavily loaded with low income families, but still does well. I don't know about Mundo Verde because they are still new.

YY & LAMB's policies alone virtually ensure open seats.
As was mentioned on another thread, there are two new immersion programs applying for charters. One is Hebrew, the other is Arabic. Wouldn't those be interesting partners in the mix?

As for the language, well... her spanish is coming along!
Cooke is DCPS. This middle is for students who hve attended one of 4 charters.
But any empty seats would probably be filled via the usual lottery process.
