Look at KIPP, DC Prep, other chartesrs that are almost all minority.  The test scores are light years ahead of other schools in DCPS that are all minority

Charters are giving[b] SOME[/b] African Americans and Hispanics an actual path to success instead of being stuck in extremely terrible public schools[/quote]

Fixed that for you. I say that because I work at a school in ward 7 where we get quite a few ex-KIPPers who have been counseled out for various reasons.[/quote]

I'm OK with that. KIPP is up front about what is expected of students and families. [/quote]

+1.

And, based on a separate thread from yesterday, the school that "counsels out" most students is Banneker. Around half of incoming 9th graders are out before graduation.

Why can't charters ensure some high standards too.[/quote]

Because Congress has not given Charters the authorization to become application schools. Don't you understand the difference?[/quote]
