[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My one concern would be about the class balancing.  Do they have any concern with having larger groups of 3 year olds?  (I'm assuming the answer is no).

Based on its location and use of the term "Montessori", I'd be shocked if the FARMs rate for next year is very high.   I'm on the WL and those who I know who are either in or WLed are all white or mixed race middle to upper class Petworthians/Cola Heights families.[/quote]

Well, I hope you're wrong, because the Breakthrough charter application went into great detail about serving at-risk kids.  Hopefully they did good outreach and will meet this goal.  [/quote]

[b]isnt that just some BS to get approval?[/b] Its a lottery so its already self selecting to the parents who make the effort. Also, location is a huge factor. Its in a super gentfiying area of a bunch of families who are likley getting shut out of Creative Minds. I know, cause we are one of them in Petworth.    Who cares. this is just reality of charters. I am just jealous I didn't get in.[/quote]

Shocking how predictable that was.  I'm sure if I were smarter or more bored, I could find myself saying that when they first put their application in.[/quote]

Some schools do mean it though when they submit it - e.g. Rocketship, which is opening next fall in Ward 8.[/quote]

It makes it even easier to see the ones who pay lip service, such as Breakthrough.[/quote]
