[quote=Anonymous]As has been debated over and over, the issue is scarcity.  At least on this board, there has not been a lot of support for a lottery option.  So what needs to happen to make your neighborhood school workable so you will not choose OOB or charter?  What are the criteria you are looking for?  What makes it so it works from K-5?  What does the middle school look like?

Personally-

I would like some diversity of races and maybe a limited SES range. i.e. title one status is an issue for me.  Resources just don't match kids needs.

I want a full range of art/music/pe/librarian

I want some noticeable progression of success on tests and at least 50% of the kids scoring proficient

Not sure I need tracking, but I want to see that a program is in place for all grades to address advanced students

I do not want to see constant drilling on tests- not event the subterfuge of it-

I want the teachers to want to be there and to not hate the principal

Personally have this now in an OOB school, but we drive 45 minutes to get it.  If I could reclaim that time I would take it, but right now I would not say that Ward 5 where I live has a school meeting this criteria.  [/quote]
