[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the helpful posts about DCPS schools. We live inbound to Burroughs. I did not intend my post to sound elitist or silly, but parental involvement and school administration efficacy are important to my family. While other posters may be constrained by commute or school location, those are not factors for us where we are really focused on enrolling our child in a highly engaged and responsive school. Thank you for the DCPS list to research in more detail. Are there any recommendations for charter schools that fit our criteria?[/quote]

If you are also willing to give around $2,000 to $15,000 if you got into one of the WOTP schools, like most of the IB parents do, than I assume you'd be accepted with open arms.  I'm not exaggerating.  If you are judging by how much other parents are paying to supplement the education that you don't contribute as much to - that's not an 'elitist' attitude... that's something else.  Seriously.

The charters are no where close in terms of the $ raised comparatively to any of the WOTP schools - but they may be title I schools, and therefore have more $ per student - but lower scores & achievement.

ALL of the WOTP schools have ridiculously highly involved parents.  They all have good to excellent administration - and the parents basically co-manage the schools.  As a PP poster pointed out, the PTA budgets pay for different things at the different schools - so they are not even going to be apples to apples.  And as another PP pointed out, if you can't figure this out using Guidestar, then it's probably a club you shouldn't be trying for anyway.

Last year I bet Latin net as much, if not more, than WOTP elementary schools. [/quote]

Um, does Latin have Kindergarten?  [/quote]
