[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the teacher and circumstances such as class size, and what your other options are.  We left after a surprise class size increase of new kids with needs that overwhelmed even a stellar teacher.  But had we not gotten into one of our top choices, we would be riding it out.  We also knew that some of the high performers in the cohort would be leaving the DC area.

Child was fine academically at the HRCS, no concerns at all.  DC's reading group is the highest in the room (unsurprising for a fall birthday) rather than walking down the hall to the class a grade up, otherwise the same reading group experience.  Had we stayed, DC would likely have spent more time in the grade above classroom, which is fine.  It was more about quality of life issues and the stress on DC with the crowded classroom.

Sometimes a Title I school will have smaller class sizes due to lower enrollment, so your DC might get more personal attention there.  Teachers at our Title I were stellar and motivated, a lot more motivated than the HRCS teacher we have this year.  [/quote]
