[quote=Anonymous]For preschool or elementary school? There is no doubt in my mind that I would go with our neighborhood school if I considered mine good (which I don't). In fact, we are seriously considering moving for kindergarten in-boundary for a good school even if we get into a good charter. There are so many benefits to neighborhood schools--play dates/friends who live nearby and convenience chief among them--and these I see as really essential in elementary school. Even if we got into a relatively nearby charter, my child's friends would be from all over the city. I think the sense of community you get from a good neighborhood school cannot be matched by charters, even among the ones where the parents are most involved.[/quote]
