[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize that I'm posting on the Maryland Public Schools forum, so many of you will be biased, but -

Someone posted that DC schools, even the west of the park and charter schools, are not as good as Maryland schools.  My children are too young to be in school yet, and I'm not sure where we'll live, but I had the impression that some of the DC charters, like LAMB and Yu Ying, were on par with some of the best Maryland schools.

Have I gotten misinformation?  Or are some of the people posting here just misinformed or unaware of these charter schools?  I'm trying to be objective here, and I have no stake in either side, but most of the parents that I know whose kids are at the best DC charters seem to be some of the smartest people around, with "resources" to go elsewhere, and I was assuming that the top DC charters could actually be better than some Maryland public schools, such as those around Silver Spring.

We are in Silver Spring, and have some friends with kids at Yu Ying. Sure, Yu Ying is a fine school, but its primary selling point is that children learn Mandarin. So no, our kids are not getting that benefit. But as for overall quality, I do not think Yu Ying is better than our local elementary school.[/quote]
