[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like one of the criteria should be that the school has already reached its full configuration (i.e., if a pk-5 school, then be offering all of those grades).  If the school only has to be in existence for three years, it could easily be adding a grade for a while.  Adding a grade is hard enough without additionally increasing your enrollment ceiling at the same time.  Also - if school is not at full configuration, it seems hard to know if the school is really doing a good job educating.

Also - I don't like that a school has to be meeting the city average.  I think we can all agree that the current city average is not what we want for our kids.  [b]I think the school should be testing at 50% (maybe even 60%)[/b] and be in the top quarter of schools in terms of MGP.[/quote]

Then very few schools will be able to expand.

I think many people on here feel like their kids are better off at charters than their IB schools even if they don't meet that threshold, and most DCUM posters would prefer for there to be more spots at charters other than those I listed.[/quote]
