[quote=Anonymous]The problem with charters is that even if you find one that is a great fit, you can't guarantee that you'll get in.  We took the risk because we already lived in a nice but small house in a neighborhood without a good neighborhood school and knew we'd need to move regardless around K for more space.  We figured that if we didn't get into a good charter by K, we'd move WoTP.  We did get into our first choice charter (and it is a great fit for our kids) so our new house will not be determined by schools (if we decide that the charter is not working at some point, we will go to private school).  If you are trying to buy your "forever home" then I think you should move where there is a usable neighborhood school.  If you'll be moving in a few years regardless (and can afford child care for PS and PK if you don't get in at a workable option), then try your luck.  It depends on what you want in a neighborhood too - the "feel" of many of the WoTP neighborhoods is a lot less urban than the centrally located neighborhoods.  Some people love the more suburban feel (especially since many of the neighborhoods are still very walkable and close to public transportation).  We love being in a mixed use area close to downtown.  There are a lot of issues to consider, but I hope you find the right fit for you![/quote]
