[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before complaining about charter demographics, realize that charters don't actually get to pick and choose who they accept. Apart from sibling preference, it's all by lottery, and the lottery is not controlled by the charters. The student make-up at any charter is self-selected. The charters have no say in acceptance. Where skew comes in relates more to which kids stay. And there will no doubt unfortunately be cases with high-performing charters, where students coming from underperforming schools find themselves far behind and underprepared for the curriculum and workload. Some kids will feel overwhelmed and will leave. But again, that isn't so much the fault of the charter, either, it's more the fault of their previous schools which did not have them prepared and functioning at an appropriate level. [/quote] Few students leave Latin. Being unable to keep up there isn’t a thing. Some students do, however, take 5 years to graduate. [/quote]
