[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.

Well, guess what? SWS has only been an early ed program so far. There haven't been many years of upper grades at a lot of these schools so far, so I'll guess we'll have to wait and see. You could just as easily say that parents at Brent are "barely hanging on," since they don't have a middle school program to feed to. Oh wait, they've started to feed to...citywide programs like Latin and Basis.[/quote]
