[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1403, if you don't mind me asking, which grade classrooms were you able to observe? I just did a tour (and granted, it is not during the school year), and was a bit concerned that the program does not seem fully rooted yet. i was told that the school was almost shuttered due to lack of interest, but was revived when parents and community and DC decided to invest in the school and save it. and last year apparently was their first "transition" year moving in the direction of new growth under the same principal as that of the SWW HS. i certainly see it as becoming a reward school in the next few years, but in the meantime, i get the imminent sense that there will be many growing pains. just my observation/speculation.

As a current parent there, last year was good but I can guarantee there will be additional growing pains, but we're in it for the long haul and will ride them out and work with other parents/administration.[/quote]

I have heard the same from other parents there. There are challenges but also opportunities. OP, I think it depends a bit on whether you would be committed to doing work to support the school and help it reach its potential. If not, and you would prefer a stronger school from the get-go, I think you'd want to wait to get into a top charter if you have lottery luck and, if not, move in-boundary for a good school.
