Even if the DC populace becomes less AA it doesn't equate that the school population will reflect a change. One white couple can't cimpare to the hispanic couple with bearing school age children. Also, the multi generational scene of AAs as native Washingtonians have a strong advantage for years/decades to come.
It would require 1,000 white children year entering consecutively for at least 4 years in prek4 and staying beyond 3rd/5th grade to make a dent. It is not going to happen. More whites with less children doesn't compare with less black with more children.

Wow, I am quite pleased at these numbers! Does not reflect the city as a whole but still more diverse than I expected.
How does it not reflect the city? Pretty darn close to me.
Indeed. Perhaps PP means that Latinos and Asians are over represented in some schools, but it is obvious that language immersion schools are going to attract more of the people with deep links to the language in question.
Not if it's supposed to be lottery where "deep links to the language" aren't supposed to matter.
Unless more Asians apply to Yu Ying, which is probable given that they have deep links to the language.
The 2 Asian families I know who send their kids to YY Have no connection to Chinese at all. But, at least one friend told me she did factor the school's demographics into the decision to send her kids there.

Why so many Asians at Yu Ying? Seems like a ridiculous question.
Why so many AAs at Roots (no blonde swedish kids with an interest in European history)? Why so many kids with disabilities at St. Colettas (and not so many 120 IQ athletes)?
Really?
It's because of the proportions of who applies to those schools. Those schools are specialized and therefore draw a disproportionately high number of applicants looking for that specialization, which, even with a blind lottery would also show up as a matter of pure statistics.

OP: you sound just like our type of people. Look for us in the lottery next year!
Yes OP, please withdraw from this year if you're in, or just wait until next year. Only apply to this school. Unless an all-white charter also opens, in which case apply there as well.
What I want to know is why, when my 2 kids are not in a charter but both owe $4 GASP in unpaid lunch fees, the incessant and I mean unbelievable like 3x a week per kid ROBO CALLS from DCPS refer to us (the mixed race couple who had the children) as
"the parent or guardian of X child from American Somoa (1 child)" and
"the parent or legal guardian of Y child (of Filipino descent)"
in a very deep serious voice
refer to race when trying to collect lunch money, and then tell me my kids have two different baby daddies and us parents are completely wrong about what race we are. Do you think my husband just, as he likes to do, checked "OTHER" on some lunch form? It was kind of funny but now it is annoying especially bc I do not know how to pay. We will all become sky blue or grass green if they would just stop..... Does anyone else get these calls? I wish I could record them....
WTH are you talking about? I got a call once because we had used all the money on our child school lunch accout and were down 2$. the call was addressed to parents or guardian of XY, name and last name of the child, period, there was no reference to race or anything else. and we paid the morning after. maybe if you pay promptly what you owe, you would not receive 3 calls per week per child

OP, give DC 10 more years until you send your kids to public school here. Until then, there are just too many Black people for you OP. and honestly, I would not feel safe with you and your kids in school with my family anyway. Bigots scare us. Please wait a decade when you'll be in much better company because DC will be full of people like you, and far fewer white people like me who have actually enjoyed the diversity for the decades we've lived here.

That's an answer to the wrong question. The correct question is what is the demography of the school-aged children?
