[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP's complaints should be taken with a grain of salt, as several of these issues apply to a LOT of charter schools:

[quote=Anonymous]
1. Low demand for Hebrew compared to Spanish, French, or Mandarin.
[b]2. Inconvenient location--not very close to a metro or to that many families[/b]
3. They didn't offer PK3 for the past few years, so families often started school someplace else and didn't want to switch
[b]4. No apparent feeder pattern--not like schools that feed to DCI or Wilson, or offer their own middle/high schools.[/b]
[b]5. Turnover among teachers and administrators

2) It's actually really convenient to Petworth for those driving. I can't dispute the public transit issue - though parents have previously worked to get a shuttle set up. 
4) With the exception of the language charters and Haynes & Cap City, no charters have a feeder path. (This includes well regarded schools like IT, CMI, etc)
5) I think every school can make this complaint at some level.

You think every school can make a complaint about turnover among administrators?  Teachers, yes, applies to 90% of all DC public schools (DCPS and charters).  But Admins?   Other than Sela, Shining Stars, and maybe a couple others, what schools have had regular turnover of Admins among DC's roughly 200 public schools?[/quote]
