[quote=Anonymous](VA) Can anyone talk to me about the benefits of being a Title One school? We just finished our first year of school at our local elementary (DS is in 1st grade and was in private for K due to covid) and it was a really rough year. I just learned that the elementary school is becoming a title 1 school next year.

I'm really not sure what to do. DS is really unhappy in school and I am worried the school is just going to get worse now that it's officially title one. So many of our neighbors move when their kids hit Kindergarten because of this school. Or their parents are teachers in the other elementary schools in our area and they get to attend those, or they pay for private, or even homeschool. We love our area so much and I wish I could change this school (middle and high school are well ranked). It was a 6 or a 7 when we moved here a decade ago and has fallen yearly. I was told most of the kids are applying to our school through school choice because ours is getting more underenrolled yearly.

Does Virginia ever do anything drastic to turn Title One schools around? Like making them magnets, language immersion schools, summer school, extra tutoring after school? [/quote]
