[quote=Anonymous]I do and I'm happy to identify myself any way that's interesting to you (educational background, race, socio-economic status, current work sector, family make-up, age of kids, length of time @ our school).

What are you interested in learning? Whether you / your kid/s will be comfortable there? Something about the education offered? As you surely know just glancing @ these boards, there are many different kinds of charters--and many opinions about what kinds are good for what kids of kids.

I could generalize about the families at the charter I go to--although they're pretty different from each other in a lot of ways. (Some are really involved in the school; some really aren't. Their work backgrounds seem v different.)

I have friends who send kids to public in DC and some who use charters (and who have switched from one to the other--both ways, including from Murch (it's a well-regarded public school "east of the park" i.e. where property values are high) to a charter.)

I think there's a wealth of info here if you're a little more specific on your question. (Also: If you're new to town and haven't been through a lottery about something you care a whole lot about...it's really tough. And good luck if you do it.)[/quote]
