The problem with charter is that their are each their own little fiefdom. Depending on the staff and administration that is present each year, you could have a radically different experience.

I feel like our charter is doing a decent job... better than the public school at accommodating our son. The local public (with amazing ratings, according to the state) said all the right things to us, but never actually seemed to help our son in ANY fashion. It was a hot mess.
