[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and not picking--I swear--just curious why Powell would be at the bottom of your list.[/quote]

Not the poster who put Powell at the bottom, but I put Powell at the bottom for PK3 and I am in bounds for Powell and honestly, if we get in to Powell, I probably wont go and will just go private until first grade.  Why?  No diversity in student population (like 84% latino, 99% or something FARMS, 65% english language learners), no diversity among faculty, no inquiry based learning, low test scores, low parent involvement, and I am not convinced that Tools of the Minds is a curriculum that actually makes a difference -- unlike Montessori and inquiry based learning.  I do not care how much folks say it is turning around--based on the tour I did, I prefer to wait until it turns.  Because we are in bounds, I can always join it at K if there is indeed a real turnaround and it becomes a place I want to be.  Save your comments that I should be a part of the turnaround.  I have enough to do and prefer not to add sup par public school crusader to my list.[/quote]

But you will come in once the hard work is done? Why put Powell on your list at all? Please, stay where you are. [/quote]

Whether you like it or not, Powell is still a neighborhood school, it is not a charter.  The imaginary poster should be able to get IB the following year, not the current year where projected class size, budgets have already been established. [/quote]
