The Herald includes a very good article about the Neuse Charter School in Johnston County.

Neuse Charter’s 2009-2010 end-of-grade test scores were seventh best in the state and were tops in Johnston County, Johnson said. … Neuse Charter enrolled 385 students this fall, doubling the 175 students who enrolled in 2007 and leaving 150 hopeful students on a waiting list.

Those are familiar themes for charter schools throughout our state – high academic performance and students on waiting lists. Time for a change.
