It’s a public elementary school. Of course it can’t charge tuition.


They don't get anything that kids in other elementary schools don't/can't get, its basically just an instructional model and school focus. Which other schools also have.


Are you suggesting it become a neighborhood school and not admit county wide students? The reality is that brown and black families are choosing this over their neighborhood schools. The wait list could fill another elementary. If anything more elementaries should adopt this model and focus.
