[quote=Anonymous]I'd give you a big thumbs up for our elementary school, where I have a 5th grader who I don't think could be in a much better context anywhere and I'm not a big believer in charter schools. But assuming you're now looking for a fifth grade to enter now, then I concur that the 5-8 or 5-12 charters or possibly a K-8 elementary your your very best way to go. Putting a child through a mid-year transition and then transition into middle school for 6th would not serve him or her, no matter how great that school is.
Now, if you're military or coming from outside to leave soon again, then you should specify that in your post. There are schools that do much better on that front then others. Your criteria then should be different from someone (like me) who'll tell you how great their school is, exactly because it's a steady community locked into a long-term interaction and hence probably wouldn't serve you well, no matter how great I think it is.
You should consider all of this. Kids aren't chess pieces and schools/classrooms aren't some amorphous entity.[/quote]
