CP: Charter Schools

Check out this City Paper piece on charter schools and you'll see some familiar names (both schools and people). To give you a taste you've got the Capitol Hill Cluster School, Gina Arlotto and Two Rivers (see the end of the article for a mention of the ongoing lawsuit coutesy of Save Our Schools).

WP: School Enrollments Continue Shift

Charles Young Elementary in Langston Terrace.
Enrollment drops at DCPS, while charters pick up the slack. According to the Post, charter schools now serve 26% of District children (it sounds like they are working with the number for total resident children enrolled in either a DCPS school, or a public charter, rather than actually looking at total resident children). The piece also makes the point that it isn't entirely clear if the trends reflect students leaving traditional public schools to attend charter schools, or if these are different groups of students reflecting other trends in the city.
