[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest you go to BM OP and leave the MV spot to a family who is really interested in the school and committed to it.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works and charters are full of half committed families that are there for lack of better options. [/quote]

Seriously.  They may start committed, but reality has a way of creeping in.[/quote]

It’s easy to be committed when it’s all sunshine and roses in ECE. Then you realize your supposedly great school has serious weaknesses but you’re trapped unless you want to give up a middle school feed or move. So people deal with a crazy amount because of sunk cost bias. At least OP seems to be going in with her eyes open.[/quote]

THIS. +100. MV is similar to most of these “HRCS” in that as the kids get older, behavior and social emotional issues become more challenging, translating into significant classroom (and learning) disruption. Its relatively easy for these schools to adhere closely to their mission (and dare I say) marketing messaging in K or 1st grade. But by 3rd,4rth grade the wheels start to come off and teacher turnover sky rockets. [/quote]

Bruce Monroe also has issues its own issues after 2nd grade due to achievement gaps and behavioral issues. [/quote]
