6. My kids were at a great charter school.
All the schools in Los Altos Hills were shut down to save $$$ 7-8 years ago. Los Altos and Los Altos Hills were in the same school district, but Los Altos Hills did not have enough ppl (ie- votes) to stop the closing of their schools and the selling off of the land.

Bullis Charter was formed as an alternative. Our test scores were always off the charts (in a GOOD way). The school is still there and still trying to fight off the petulant school officials.



I'm just saying that ALL Charter Schools are not bad.

Many are formed for GOOD reasons.


The influx of large #'s of whackadoodle Charter Schools is very recent.
