[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what about the citywide charters? I'm sure Haynes, Stokes, Yu Ying, etc. could safely be called successful. I think that MV and IT will have great scores once they get that far.[/quote]

Not to me.  They all do a great job on early ed, that is if you're not looking for a dual-immersion program like Oyster (where kids learn the target language both from peers and instructors).

High-SES parents in the upper grades at these schools often barely hang on.  This is partly because the PTAs can't raise money for support staff like at JKLM and Brent.  SWS could do that if it stayed a neighborhood school, and only if.

SWS already raises more than you probably realize and will gain new families.  There's no exodus of the current families.  There may be minor attrition, but it's a highly committed and engaged group of families.  These families are more welcoming of new families seeking out the program than some of the cynics posting here seem to realize (haven't read anything insightful enough to suggest these cynics are current SWS families). Haters hate . . . whatever

When did it become JKLMB?  Or lets compare Deal to Jefferson.  C'mon.[/quote]
