[quote=Anonymous]"Best" is a function of what offerings are important to you, for example language immersion or other aspects.

What's "best" for one family isn't going to be "best" for the next family.

It's not a popularity contest, each of the schools have a different philosophy, different approach, different offerings, different strengths and weaknesses.

You need to research what the school is actually about, not just rely on some arbitrary judgement of "best" or "popular" - unless it's very specifically in the context of what you are looking for, such as immersion in a specific language.

Applying to any and all charters and seeing which ones you get in to makes absolutely no sense, because you could well end up in one that's not a good fit.

There's already far too many parents doing the uninformed shotgun approach getting on the wait list of a whole bunch of schools, clogging up the charter application process each year, there's already far too many kids in the wrong-fit charter for their needs, so there needs to be a lot more clarity and a lot more focus on making sensible, rational, targeted choices.[/quote]
