I’ll bet this school does well and the other public schools don’t get worse.

If it’s all the same pot of students, overall doesn’t it mean no real change to city’s schools? Don’t they include charter schools in the overall jc statistics ? Who care is this charter school takes money away from public schools, it is also a public school teaching public school kids. Who the hell is talking about defunding the public schools ? This is a jc public school

Probably a better one.

Sure it attracts families that are smart enough to apply.

Kids at the other jsq schools have families that are not smart enough to apply. Why is that bad? There are already “good” schools and “bad” ones, why is it bad to have another good one?

I feel like it just makes people butthurt because it ends up showing that it’s not really the school that matters, it’s the kids.

But that also shouldn’t matter in terms of policy. Cuz kids who do poorly would do poorly in any school. Not everyone is an A student or even a B student.
