[quote=Anonymous]Test scores are not the first thing I look at when comparing schools.  So to answer your question, I am in a good charter that I feel is better than my BFF kid's school in Arlington. Goes back to a PP in saying it depends on who's doing the comparing.  I would never judge my friend in Arlington and would hope that she would never judge me. In fact, when she comes to our school's events she admits she's a little envious. So me, I'll take my 75% performing charter over a 90% performing Arlington school.  You just mentioned that your original post was to ask parents who were at bad DC schools, but that's not what I gathered - especially when you mention JKLM in the subject. I took the post as a "my school is better than yours and you're bad parents to live in the city."  I like having the choice to attend charters over a school district where charters have autonomy to fire poor performing teachers.  I like that my charter doesn't teach to the test but teaches independelearninging through creative exploration.  I'm very confidant that if my charter were to teach to the test, they'd be in the 90s.  Thankfully, test scores aren't my top priority.[/quote]
