NOTES: Applicants entering grades 6–12 in cohort 2 who did not participate in baseline testing were not included in the eligible applicant figure. SOURCES: Figure for low-income students is based on data from the U.S. Census, population of the District of Columbia ages 5 to 17 under 185 percent of the Federal poverty line in 2000. The exact number for 2004 and 2005 is likely to differ somewhat from this 2000 figure. Numbers of applicants and eligible applicants are from the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program applications. |
