[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The title of the post was rude and a little inflammatory. I apologize. Poor choice of words. I started this thread, not to pit charter and DCPS but because there seems to be a double standard when it comes to not so stellar test scores from DCPS Title I schools. Take JO Wilson as an example, only because I saw some recent no-so-flattering comments about the school.  The test scores are on par with some of these charters.  24% ELA and 35% math. Yet, when someone wanted feedback about the school, everyone jumped on the poster saying it was a terrible school and never to enroll their child there. Why?  It seems to have some pretty good programs too.  It's not just JO Wilson but you can plug in a lot of DCPS Title I schools that are doing just as well, if not better than these HRCS like Marie Reed, Barnard, Thomson.  Yet, when anyone suggests enrolling their child at one of these schools, you get the most negative feedback.  Why?  And why are the waitlists for these other schools into the hundreds?  [/quote]
