[quote=Anonymous]Because they have a high majority of low income kids. Dcum parents want their kids around high achievers. We live in eastern moco and my child went to Burtonsville Elem. It’s a focus school. One of the federal policies for focus and title 1 schools is small class sizes in K-2nd. My kid had 13 kids in her K class and 15 in her 1st and 2nd grades. She had amazing teachers who really cared, I went in once a week and volunteered so saw the classroom/kids regularly. The school had very low teacher turnover and a responsive Principal. What it didn’t have were lots of after school options because those cost money. So many wealthier parents see these schools as “ not good” based on comments from other people and send their kids to private which makes the cycle continue. I have no regrets. [/quote]
