[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that our charter is a better fit for our family than any of the DCPS schools you mention.[/quote] +1. Also, many new charters (Basis, IT, MV) are brand new schools. Lastly, you've got to take scores with a grain of salt. JKLM schools have almost zero FARM schools. I know my high SES kid will have the sane test scores as LAMB, IT or MV than he would at Janey plus he'll have exposure to more creative learning, possible language, diverse friends and much more. To each his own.[/quote]\ Allow me to retort: my high SES kids do well at both charters and DCPS schools. Success is not limited to kids from high SES backgrounds. Neither myself nor DH came from high SES backgrounds. We were both from poor families. The test is whether families of any SES can get their kids to read and do math. Teachers and schools are an element, too, but frankly are far less important than parental influences.[/quote]
