[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the 'top' charters? How is that determined , by popularity or achievement scores or what? Help![/quote]

As an educator I am looking at the fact that your child is currently in a G&T program. I would look for a school that is going to provide a similar experience. A top charter is not necessarily going to do that. You want to look for the school that offers PBL or project based learning opportunities. That is going to take some time to research. You also will want smaller class sizes because G&T students need as much time and attention as students who are struggling. Again charters sometimes pack in 30 or more kids into a classroom and teach to the middle. A former colleague is at Cap City and she likes it. It sounds like they do a lot of experiential learning which is what is going to be beneficial to your gifted child. After the 3rd grade you will want to look for a SEM school in DCPS. Look into Renzulli Learning for more information about SEM schools. [/quote]
