Looking for a good Charter school for a 5th grader next year

[Anonymous]

Hi, My son goes to Seneca Academy in Darnestown, MD. But we are looking to go to a good public schools next year, as he can get the benefits of free testing for gifted and talented and also other benefits like no tution, or less tuition. Are there any good charter schools in Germantown area? Or do we have to belong to a cluster to get to a good charter school too?
No idea, I really need help in this, and I appreciate any advice .
thanks

I think you want to be in the MD schools forum...

DC BASIS will open. They have a very good record in Arizona. Please attend one of their forums next week BASIS.org

Washington Latin if you can get it. It's the best middle school in DC and it's a charter.

Use the MD school forum unless you plan to move to DC for charter. Good DC ones are by lottery. Charters are not allowed to specialize in G&T. There are no G&T elementary or middle school programs in DCPS.

Again, you should ask on the MD Schools board. Montgomery County has very, very few charters, and it generally pretty opposed to the idea of adding any.
