spacer Expansion and Demographics

Expansion
  The number of Pilot Schools has grown considerably since their beginning. In 1995, 5 Pilot Schools enrolled fewer than 900 students. In 2006, the network included 20 Pilot Schools, 2 of which are Horace Mann schools, spanning grades preK–12. In September 2006, Pilot Schools served approximately 6,500 students, or about 11% of the total BPS enrollment.

Demographics
  Enrollment in Pilot Schools generally matches that of the district by race,          gender, income status, and special education status, with some variation by school level. Pilot Schools do not select students based on screening tests or prior academic achievement. As the network has expanded, Pilot Schools have become more representative of district demographics.
