Parents are notoriously bad at choosing schools that teach effectively, and those choices typically increase inequity.

Join us as we pull back the curtain on common myths, review Charlotte-specific school data, and consider more just and effective ways to identify great schools.

We’ll look at CMS data (K-12, charter, magnet & traditional) and consider:

• Is CMS a strong school district?

• Which schools are “best”?

• How do we define “best”?

• Why school ranking sites will lead you astray

• How segregation & racism impact ideas of school quality

• Considerations if looking at private schools
