[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do the people talking about kids in Title I schools even have kids in a title I school[/b], or are you just making assumptions about how far behind the kids must be?

My kids' base school is title I.  Around 1/4 of the kids are still considered above grade level by the end of 2nd.  Each 2nd grade classroom has a full 5-6 person reading group of advanced readers.  Even after 20% of the kids leave the base school for the center, there are still enough advanced readers to form a couple reading groups.

Many title I schools still have around 50% non-FARMs.  Some FARMs kids are actually advanced or even gifted.  Title I schools have extra money, which means smaller classes and more resource teachers.  My kids' K-2 classes were around 21 kids, and everyone had regular pull outs with the reading specialist.

Yes.  But keep in mind that Title One schools in FCPS have FARMs rates from somewhere in the 40s to near 90, so it makes sense that experiences can differ significantly from one ES to the next.  Only around 10% of the students at our school received Level II or III services last year.  That's not many kids per advanced reading group when split among multiple classes.  In my son's class he is one of two.[/quote]
