[quote=Anonymous]As several posters have mentioned, test scores often stand in for or augment information about the demographics of the school. It's the difference between poor people who care about education and poor people who don't care about education, I guess. No offense to any posters who care about test scores, it's just what I've observed.

I also think that there is a group of charters that get hyped up, especially on this board, and others that this board loves to hate. Basically any school classified as a highly regarded charter school. I personally find the high regard for schools like Lee and Creative Minds and Mundo Verde fairly mind-boggling, since these schools are really so new that it's hard to get a sense of how they will perform (both test scores-wise and also "how my child feels about school" wise). I know people who have kids at all of the schools I mentioned and only one of them is a serious evangelist for the school. The rest of them are satisfied, but not completely blissed out.[/quote]
