Schools in hot areas lose local students

Research on gentrification, education

Many schools in the city's fastest-developing census tracts saw their enrollment drop in the late 1990s, and many saw even sharper drops in the number of students who came from the schools' own local attendance areas.

The following chart shows, for each of those schools, both the total enrollment and the number of students from the attendance area for each school, for 1995 and 2000. Schools are listed by neighborhood.

Schools marked with a * symbol do not have local attendance areas. Most are magnets schools.
