[quote=Anonymous]We attended the Open House for AppleTree Columbia Heights this morning and tried to make it to another one by the afternoon but were not able to.  Did anyone else tour an AppleTree school today?  What were your impressions?

Most of the staff and students were out on a field trip today, which made the school feel like a ghost town.  Very eerie for a preschool.  The tour was led by someone in the upper leadership for the schools, but he surprisingly did not seem to know much about the schools or at least the campus we were at.  The school's office manager had to step in and correct where he misspoke.  It was unfortunate that we didn't have a chance to see students and teachers in action or meet the principal.

AppleTree seems like a good "backup school" for other charters, or as a perfect choice for kids who are "zoned" for a high performing public school when Kindergarten rolls around (shutter at the thought...).  Advice?  Is it worth touring the campuses in NE and SW as well?[/quote]
