Not sure I have an answer. It’s worth noting that neighborhood schools were done away with here before the floods of 2005. The rule was and remains city-wide access. I think. There were some public schools that had a reputation for quality pre-2005. They still exist. Probably we’d have tried to get into one of those.

Or would you have enrolled your daughter in a private school?

As you say, charter schools are controversial. I’m ambivalent, and in Chicago I’m becoming less supportive of them. In your case, did it make a difference?
