[quote=Anonymous]We have had an excellent experience at our Silver Spring elementary, which was a Title I school until last year. Still lots and lots of ESOL kids and FARMS kids (more than 50%). DS has a kindergarten class of just 19 students. There's a plus for a Title I/Red Zone school--smaller class size. For us, it has NOT been true that DS is being deprived of challenging work b/c the teacher is busy getting others up to grade level. DS entered kindergarten not reading, and is now at 2nd grade level. The principal actually called me at work a few months ago to say DS would be in a special reading group 2x/week outside class. and beyond that, in the classroom, they do a lot of group/differentiated learning. Maybe what is key is having a small group of peers at DD's level (2 kids are higher level readers in her class), and some T1 schools might not have that. Anyway, I know some have obviously had bad experiences in T1 schools, but we have had a terrific experience. I hope you do, too![/quote]
