DCPNI is doing this by building a cradle-to-college-to-career pipeline of supports for students and their families. The Urban Institute partnered with DCPNI in 2010 to act as the data analyst and local evaluator of this ambitious initiative. In October 2010, DCPNI became one of 21 recipients of a US Department of Education Promise Neighborhood planning grant. The Urban Institute conducted a needs assessment and segmentation analysis between November 2010 and July 2011, as required by the US Department of Education planning grant. The needs assessment includes data on the children, families, neighborhoods, and schools (Kenilworth Elementary, Neval Thomas Elementary, and Chavez Parkside Middle and High Schools) of the DCPNI footprint. The segmentation analysis identifies those subpopulations (i.e., by neighborhood, age, and gender) that are most in need. These data are intended to provide a timely understanding of the needs of the community and to inform the continuum of strategies developed by DCPNI and their workgroups (the Results-Driven Working Groups, or RDWGs). Data and Source Methods The Urban Institute relied on eight sources of data to conduct the needs assessment. Sources of data included in the needs assessment Census Data Census 2010 Population Data and the 2005–09 American Community Survey data District of Columbia Local administrative data are routinely collected by Urban Institute’s Neighborhood Administrative Data Info DC and analyzed at the neighborhood level. National Surveys When neighborhood-level data (either from census or local data are unavailable), we used data from national surveys (i.e., National Children’s Health Survey). Focus Groups Urban Institute conducted five focus groups with 26 adults and 14 teenage residents from the DCPNI footprint in March 2011. The purpose was to provide insights into the Results-Driven Working Groups’ targeted issues. The groups included teenage girls, teenage boys, parents of youth ages 0–4, parents of primary school students, and parents of high school students. Focus group guides are included in the appendix. Resident Retreats DCPNI held two retreats in early 2011 for residents of the Mayfair, Paradise, Parkside, and Kenilworth communities within the DCPNI footprint. Approximately 80 adults and youth discussed the 10 goals of DCPNI. 4 DC Promise Neighborhoods Initiative: Needs Assessment and Segmentation Analysis Teacher Interviews Urban Institute interviewed seven teachers in May 2011 to help inform the Results- Driven Working Groups. Two of the teachers were from Kenilworth Elementary, one from Neval Thomas Elementary, two from Chavez Public Policy Middle School at Parkside, and two from Chavez High School at Parkside. Teacher interview guides are included in the appendix. School Climate UI staff implemented a school climate survey at Chavez Parkside Middle and High Survey Schools in May 2011. (The response rate for the middle school and high school was 70 percent.) The purpose of the survey was to assess student safety, relations with teachers, and access to technology, among other things. Survey instruments and detailed analysis are included in the appendix. Results-Driven UI staffed the 10 RDWGs and working group participants provided information and Working Groups insight into each of the RDWG’s goals and issues. Notes from the meetings are included in the needs assessments. Organization of the report The needs assessment is organized by the eight Results-Driven Working Groups (RDWGs) that parallel the 10 Promise Neighborhood goals outlined by the US Department of Education. (The Middle School, High School and College Transition and Success working groups were combined into one working group.) The report is organized as follows: A summary of findings that clearly lays out the main finding and segmentation analysis for each goal. A descriptive overview of the seven neighborhoods in the DCPNI footprint. The individual needs assessment targeted to each of the DCPNI Results-Driven Working Groups. The appendices include: The Focus Group Appendix includes focus group guides for teenage boys/girls, parents of infants and toddlers, parents of elementary and middle school students, and parents of high school students. The Teacher Interview Appendix includes the Teacher Interview Guide The School Climate Survey Analysis and Instrument Guide Appendix includes the School Climate Surveys Instrument and School Survey reports for Chavez Middle School and High School at Parkside 5 DC Promise Neighborhoods Initiative: Needs Assessment and Segmentation Analysis Summary of Findings The following summarizes the findings in the needs assessment for the DC Promise Neighborhood Initiative during the planning year (fall 2010 through summer 2011). The findings are listed in order of the full needs assessment: the overall summary of the population and socioeconomic demographics of the footprint followed by the 10 goals required by the Department of Education for the Promise Neighborhood planning grant. The segmentation analysis for each finding is provided as well. Summary of the socioeconomic demographics of the neighborhoods in DCPNI 1. Approximately 5,700 people live in the DCPNI footprint as of 2010 Census, and almost one-third of the population is children under age 18 (much higher than the citywide average of 17 percent). Segmentation analysis: A slightly larger number of young children live in the southern tract 96.02 (Mayfair, Paradise), which is not surprising given the many multifamily units in the Mayfair and Paradise neighborhoods. 2. Approximately half of the residents living in the DCPNI neighborhoods are poor. However, four of the neighborhoods have particularly high rates of poverty, income
