[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think poor schools and FARMS go hand in hand, no. Yes there are poor schools in DC that have high FARMS, but I don't think that's always the root cause of the poor academics. Yes, I do live in DC, we have a $295k HHI, live in Upper NW and can afford private (or to live in MoCo). We attend a highly regarded charter that I absolutely love with about a 60% FARM population and a 9/10 on great schools with 5 stars. Maybe you should try not to assume when you're judging others.[/quote] A charter, by definition, has a self-selecting population. So a kid acts up in the charter ... what happens? I bet the kid is out and sent back to his general-enrollment school, or a charter that explicitly appeals to "at risk" students. This is also not an option available to OP, who can either attend "local school," "AAP cluster after whatever grade (provided they make it)," or "private school." [/quote]
