[quote=Anonymous]I work in a Title 1 school (not in this area) and we have to follow the same curriculum county/district wide.  Our students are expected to meet the same standards as everywhere else.  It's just a lot harder to do so with uninvolved/absent parents, low levels of literacy prior to starting school, attendance issues, you name it.  Our school doesn't have too many behavior issues but there is a lot of other considerations that affect student performance.  We are expected to perform miracles though and get everyone up to grade level no matter where they start from.  So while every school has the same standards, not all students start in the same place.  Our students make good progress during the school year if they regularly attend school and attend the after-school program where they have homework time.  Then they go home in the summer and many of them end up starting all over again in late August.  I had kindergarteners reading on grade level in June (level D) and then when they come back in late August, they are back to below a level A.  [/quote]
