[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]obviously no one has done their homework on  CAPCS. they've had at least two tier 1 schools within the last 5 years within their network...now on top of that their early childhood education program has always been pretty good.... one campus had problems...CAPCS online with K2 has also always performed well....CAPCS has fared no more no more worse than any other charters..... the real deal about caps, what has you all licking your chops....

the real estate

lay off the name calling in the mud slinging when truly you're just wolves in sheep's clothing licking your chops about the real estate and the student enrollments. [/quote]

Those tier 1 campuses were dismantled by administration who wanted to save money.

One of those was the Butler campus. It was on Thomas circle, ideal for those who worked downtown. It was prek to third and kept expanding. The campus was closed down and moved to A1 after 5-6 years downtown. The principal who built Butler was moved to head of A1 and started to create a school that was gaining in butler's achievements, but was never fully respected due to his youth. He left to lead a private school. The next butler principal tried to keep the momentum, but lack of resources and support meant the end of a school within a school.

CAPCS had some of the brightest and enthusiastic minds who wanted to teach and they had to deal with no resources, no support, no professional development, changes in administration who brought new curriculum that didn't work. These teachers instead created their own curriculum, their own plans. These informal leaders left en masse after being reading the writing on the wall. 
My spouse taught at capcs for several years and I got a good view of what was happening.[/quote]
