At the time they closed our school (Glennwood), I really wished I could have, and I still think some of my kids would have been better served in private schools (mostly due to special ed issues). But we can barely afford to live in Decatur, and paying the taxes once for 4 children is far cheaper than paying private school tuition times 4.

i was looking at the CSD website in their charter (http://www.csdecatur.net/charter/2010-2011%20charter%20BOE%20approved%205.11.10.pdf)

and noticed they track and have different goals for Black students as compared for all other students.

Anyone know why this? Any opinions on this? How does this affect non-black students?

i admit i am still learning about charters and how performance/demographics are tracked

A few children in the neighborhood went there, but usually left for private school by 3rd or 4th grade. We too worked hard to turn this around with the help of a wonderful principal. We claimed victory the year every one of our 5th graders went on to Renfroe. And then we lost our school in the reconfiguration.
