[quote=Anonymous]Some charters are "just as good" some aren't and some are better....it all depends on what you're looking for. Most charters have a something that makes their mission special--whether it's language immersion, Montesorri, International Baccalaureate, etc. Your chances of getting in a good charter are slim however, because at this point siblings of current students take up most of the incoming spots at the lowest grades. Good news is, there are actions being taken to create a unified lottery for both regular public schools and charters and within a couple years I think they'll likely have a decent handle on that so that people will have a better shot at getting into the school they REALLY want...rather than the "apply any and everywhere and hope you get a spot somewhere" process that's been in place the last few years. But I think for the fist and maybe second year, the unified lottery is probably not going to make a lot of people happy...let's hope the folks who run the lottery have a good handle on the algorithms they'll need to apply to actually make it work they way it should. Finally, many public schools east of the park are getting better each and every year. Powell, Barnard, West are just a few examples of schools on the rise in neighborhoods that are still reasonably affordable. [/quote]
