No, no, no. Check again.... the % of FARMs kids at Inspire DC and YY. Only around 15%, lower than WotP

Not most of the charters commonly discussed on this board---those charters were largely established by educated parents living EOP who could no longer rely on getting their kids OOB entrance into the JKLM network, did not want to move from the city, and did not want their kid to be the only (or one of a few only) kids of their SES in their local DCPS, since the higher SES neighborhoods in DC are so scattered that few EOP DCPS schools have enough middle/upper middle class kids to change the educational culture of a school.
