[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of any of these schools and I've been living here all my life.

Needless to say, I doubt if anyone has heard on them on this forum either.

The bolded, X 10.  I've heard of all of those schools, although I don't know distinguishing details about them that would make a useful comparison.  For the charters you could also just call the Public Charter School Board office and see who there can help you compare.

In the end though, seriously OP, it's all going to come down to you touring every single school you're interested in and seeing for yourself.  You could even swing by sometime a couple of weeks after school starts and ask them questions, ask if they did open houses last year and about what time of year it was, maybe even ask if anyone can show you around now.  Chances are there aren't too many parents asking for tours so if it's not hectic maybe they'll oblige.  But even without a tour, stopping by and talking to folks in the office is a start to getting a feel for the school atmosphere.  Test scores pretty much speak for themselves, but if the scores are really poor, that's certainly a fair question for the Principal or Assistant Principal.[/quote]
