[quote=Anonymous]My kids attend a poorly rated title 1 school and as others have noted there are pluses and minuses. One positive- class sizes are small. My daughter’s 1st grade class has 18 kids, and specialist teachers spend at least 3 hours a day supplementing the teacher working with lower level kids. Our school is poor performing largely due to an immigrant population just learning English. As a result my kids have learned a lot about the world first hand just by being friends with kids from all over (my son learned to say “poop” in 7 languages in 4th grade, lol). It’s an experience that would probably be hard to replicate otherwise and offsets any concerns I have about not being as academically above grade level as other parts of the county. [/quote]
