[quote=Anonymous]My kids attended a Title I ES where white kids were a minority of students, but the school feeds into a less diverse middle and high school regarded as top 2 or 3 in FCPS. i would not have traded their elementary school experience, with small classes and kids from more than 50 countries in the school. Their LLIV classes were also diverse. What they got to MS, they found that some kids who had attended other elementary schools had a negative view of the Title I school that seemed to be based on race, which I guess they learned from their parents. I would be lying if I didn't say I also valued the high percentage of high achieving students in their MS and HS. My kids are fairly bright but not highly motivated or competitive by nature so they were in no danger of feeling over-pressured. The environment kept them from slacking off too much. They were well-prepared for MS despite attending a lower-performing ES and never had any tutoring. [/quote]
