[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. I wish there were more high school charter options that didn’t have feeder preferences. We need more charter high schools. [quote=Anonymous]I have a kid looking for 9th grade options next year. Here's the thing about "good" charter high schools: it's close to impossible to access them as a 9th grader. And unlike DCPS (which offers a bunch of selective schools that begin in 9th), charters cannot establish any threshold criteria for admissions. [/quote][/quote] Do we? There are some decent high school only charters, such as WLA and Thurgood Marshall. But since they can’t operate selective admissions, they operate through aggressive attrition. Like the PP said, the problem is that it’s basically impossible to create a decent lottery-admissions high school. You need a boundary or feeders or selective admissions. [/quote]
