Playing devil's advocate here and out of a genuine interest to understand given this is not an area of expertise - if a class goes at a slower pace, aren't they automatically behind and not covering as much material? So come third/fourth/fifth grade a kid from Barrett - low income or not - wouldn't have learned the same material, at an appropriate pace, as peers from another higher income public school?

Feels like conflicting opinions on here - which I know is normal - with some saying its ALL the same for the first several years and others acknowledging it's really not, but that essentially "dont worry she'll be OK". [/quote]
So much of early elementary is basic socialization and basics of reading / math.  For the former, the school doesn't much matter as long as there's not too much dysfunctional behavior. For the latter, the home environment matters a lot more. Regardless of how quickly/slowly the other kids learn to read and write, your kid will already learn/have learned most of it at home.[/quote]
