[quote=Anonymous]When we bought our home 12 gears ago the schools were not title 1. They were about 25-30% low income/EL and but were still performing well and families seemed satisfied. Well, fast forward to now and I have a 12th and 9th grader. The HS is now nearing 60% low income, despite the catchment area not changing at all. I’m not opposed to this at a macro level but this year it has come to a head for our family.

They can’t make my 12th grader’s schedule work. And they don’t care. She’s not taking anything crazy or out of the ordinary, just normal AP’s for a high achieving 12th grader. She is literally being forced to choose between AP Chem and AP Gov. The counseling office knows nothing about what’s typical for applying to elite colleges. All they are concerned about is the students that might not graduate. We are invisible to them. And I’m not going to lie - I feel invisible and abandoned even though we stuck up for and defended the school. I feel like I need to move my 9th grader which sucks for her too.

Just something to think about when you are buying a home.

I can’t help but think this wouldn’t be an issue at a school with more college bound students. [/quote]
