[quote=Anonymous][quote=annmanito]The teaching quality definitely matters to us, but the longer hours doesn't matter in our situation. We are paying a full-time nanny to take care of the younger sib, so there is no real advantage to having the older one in school any longer. [b]What is odd to me is that statistics for Grow show a fairly high percentage of FARMS kids. Typically, this does not equate to a very enriched, academic student body. So it makes me wonder what the KIPP Grow experience is really like.[/b] [/quote] It sounds like you didn't bother to visit the shool or do your homework on KIPP DC or charter movement in general. 80% of charter students are low income. (And many of those are also precocious. Odd, no?) If stats are your key criteria (prejudice?), then move to wards 2 or 3 or cross your fingers for Yu Ying or Haynes. You might find more parents with nannies there. [/quote]
