[quote=Anonymous]i also think a lot of families on the hill are insecure re their middle school options and choice no matter what it is. the test scores and past reputation at the in-bound schools are not good. meanwhile the national political sentiment and a lot if the academic research focused on charter schools has swung much less positive. there is research that says branding a charter school as for example classics focused tends to be less appealing to lower income families. that kind of raises a lot of really uncomfortable questions for some people. are you commuting across town partly to avoid that demographic. its obviously a lot more complicated than that. i think most people weigh all the various factors as well as their particular children and come out slightly more one way or the other. but its not an easy conversation to have with other parents.
