NYC has been going through the tragic annual ritual of charter school lotteries, during which thousands of parents hope to beat the odds and get their kids into much-demanded, high-performing charters.
Here are a couple facts: ????
- The????Carl C. Icahn Charter School????had spots for less than 3 percent of its 868 applicants.
- Fifteen charter schools had space for less than 10 percent of applicants.
- In total, there were 42,093 applications for 8,468 spots.
To paraphrase Rotherham, Remind me why we're opposed to these?
