Now we know.
It'll be an Ascend Charter School. Whatever your opinion of charter schools, it's a fact that Ascend serves a predominantly black population across its 15 schools in Brooklyn. Families give it high marks, and students achieve at well above the district standards. And so, in the spirit of civil open dialogue, the Q welcomes your thoughts on Ascend, on charter schools generally, and on the inclusion of one into an all market-rate building on Linden Boulevard. I know the zeitgeist scuttlebutt around integration, G&T, charter...but when you include the families of those attending charters like Ascend, sometimes the conversation becomes less one-sided. That's been my experience. How about you?

Don't know the school. The name brings me down.
All I know is that THAT THING looks like the Tower of Sauron all the way from Ocean PARKWAY and probably the moon. It is grotesquely out of scale with everything around it. My mom spent her last months in Congregational Nursing Home, there was a pleasant little garden out in front...I guess now the residents will live out their lives in deep shadow. Gack. If they put in a decent charter school, that would be something, I guess.
