[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been in education most of my life (private and public). Attending HRCS was the biggest mistake for us. 6th and 7th grades were wasted since teachers basically printed out online articles and told students to analyze/ work on them in groups. Math was a joke and science was practically non-existent. We were constantly being bombarded by phone calls to "donate" to the school. The calls came as early as 6 am or late around 11 pm.
 We transferred to another HRCS for 8th grade, which was great for a year. The school being new went though major changes and yet again donating to the "teachers' fund" became an issue. Our family does not qualify for FARMS but we live literally paycheck to paycheck. For two years in a row my kid got excellent grades throughout the year, but the end of year report card showed dismal results.
Junior and Senior years were at  DCPS and the experiences were much better in every aspect. 
So from our perspective, charter schools at the high school level serve best those students who will not get top grades in regular DCPS or privates. Being very well connected or [b]making substantial donations to the charters will earn these kids top marks [/b]which will help them get into better colleges or earn scholarships.
