[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problems are going to be more social/peer group than academic. Is the area low income? What sorts of jobs do the other parents have? Are they involved in the community/school? Are there good extra curriculars?[/quote] Agree and disagree. Yes to the social problems. But if you have an average child or slightly above average child, they will not receive adequate education. Low income “bad” schools have too many kids below grade level or in many cases, far below grade level. Sometimes, the district will have opportunities in place for the highly accelerated/gifted kids, but the average kids are the ones that suffer and get nothing out of school[/quote]
