Can anyone weigh in on what are the best charter elementary schools in CC?  Thanks!

are you only considering charter schools?  Because there are a few public schools that are actually pretty good- you just have to live in the catchment.  The Meredith school in Queen Village gets great reports and we have a friends who have sent their kids there and really liked it- we are considering that but leaning more towards moving to the Rittenhouse area so LO could go to the Greenfield school if we stay in the city- it is also rated very well and it might be silly, but the reason we are leaning towards Greenfield is that Meredith school looks like a bit like a prison from the outside and thats just not what I envisioned for our LO.  Let me know if you have questions or if you find out about any good charter schools. Hubby and I are still trying to decide whether we can stay in the city or not.  Thanks!

Meredith, penn Alexander, and greenfield are probably the three best public elementary schools in Philadelphia. McCall is also a good school.  Independence charter school is good in that it offers kids an interesting curriculum. I teach at a high school and the kids we get from ICS are great. Christopher Columbus charter is another school we have gotten some great kids from.
