Citizens of the World is a chain: http://www.citizensoftheworld.org/

I could imagine it becoming a HRCS if it locates in a gentrifying area. And though I can't verify this source, it seems like that might be in keeping with their prior actions in NYC: http://charterschoolscandals.blogspot.com/2013/09/citizens-of-world-charter-schools.html

North Star has 10 schools in Newark and is part of Uncommon Schools--kind of like KIPP or DC Prep. https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/11/can-a-teacher-be-too-dedicated/382563/

Interesting that their grant is for 9-12 http://citybridge.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/North-Star-WEB.pdf but their application is for 4-8. I could see this as an informal feeder for Ron Brown...or if DCPS decides it doesn't want to run Ron Brown, they could take it over.

So far, I'm not seeing that any of these new schools are being targeting to middle class families, who really lack decent options in this city.

You are judging this by capsule bios on a link. Stay woke.

Read the charter law and the mission statement of Citybridge. Middle class families are not the target audience.

When schools state explicitly that they are targeting a FARMS population and will locate in Wards 7/8, I don't think that it is a stretch to say the school is not going to serving middle class residents.

Such a travesty that someone wants to try to do something for disadvantaged children. Why won't anyone think of your poor Timmy.
