What charters do, they do well... they tend to be very bare-bones, efficient, cookie-cutter... there is good and bad in everything... in their streamlined approach they do not tend to customize well.

The incredibly sad thing is that this charter is so much better than the local public school. Even knowing what I know about the charter first hand, I would STILL choose this charter over the local public school. So so sad that there are so many families left to choose between these two schools (or other similar charters). I am feeling so fortunate that I CAN homeschool partially and eventually send my child to the private school of our choice.
