[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what? Lower SES families who make the choice and investment to travel to Hearst are often more engaged that the families who walk there. You have a self-selected population of engage parents -- like most of the successful Charters -- you'll do just fine there.[/quote] But that's the interesting thing about Hearst (and Eaton, btw) - OOB does not necessarily equal lower SES. I know lots of people who have kids OOB at these schools and they are all highly educated professionals who happen to live east of the park and need to lottery for a good school. So like certain charters, what you actually have is a body of educated and engaged parents and isn't that exactly what you want at a school? Any neighborhood shunning of these schools just seems odd to me.[/quote]
