[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone pick Bruce Monroe over Creative Minds and their shady campus up at the Armed Forces Retirement Home? Do you not have a car?[/quote]

I'm a CMI parent (and have been for several years).  I hope PP, you are not one.  While CMI is a great school - putting schools against each other like this does not benefit the children of DC (and is not part of the mindset of CMI).

I know many Bruce Monroe families (and both charter and DCPS families) both schools have great things to offer and I hope each continues to grow![/quote]

I know that test scores aren't the be-all-end-all and maybe test scores do not matter much to you either. That said, I believe they matter to the extent that they can be early indicators of lack of leadership on the part of the administration (when test scores continue to slip).  Have there been any conversations within the CMI community over the PARCC testing and scores?  How do you feel about the test scores?[/quote]

We have a meeting coming up to discuss it.  I'm not happy about the scores, I will be honest.  As a parent of an older child, I was hoping for better - as for lack of leadership, I've been at CMI since the begining and I would disagree with that statement, but I'm looking forward to the discussion around the scores and what they mean.  I am commited to the school, my child is doing well there, but that is wonder of the school choice - not every program works for every child.[/quote]

Thanks! Please report back after the meeting. We're interested in CMI and other nearby schools.[/quote]
