Let me tell you, if we had no Title one funds it would really reduce my incentives to stay at the school. Free summer camp/school is nice.
Extra teachers they hire for remedial/advanced services are nice to have, but not really a substitute for a class of kids ready and willing to learn.
Also, it is a challenge to make friends outside of school (if I get along with a parent usually kids are not friends, and vice versa, and there are just not enough families who are up to all the playdate culture etc).
On the plus side: it is easy to get all the best from school from just being active at school.
If you can afford moving, I would move to attend a nice school where most kids would be like your kid, and most parents are like yourselves.
Not at Glen Haven, but my child is at a different Title 1 school in Silver Spring and this is definitely an issue. It's even harder trying to explain to my kids why they can't play with their school friends outside of school.
