[quote=Anonymous]My DD is in a Title 1 school. She loves it and has had some great teachers. Some enrichment provided. She was recently identified as gifted - just saying this to show that she has grown academically. Classes so far have averaged about 17 kids - which is a nice size, with some behaviors - but that is common in all schools. I think the small size has been very good for my DD. Looking at the yearbook, the upper grades 3,4 and 5 have 24-27 kids. That being said, many kids are pulled for different things so often class sizes are naturally smaller.

What I don't love is that my school has little to no PTA involvement which means little to no after school activities and not as many after school events. The after school events that they do have are put on by the school/teachers. Friends at other Title 1 schools have active PTA's, which means they have more programming and more events. All title 1 schools offer ELO (free summer school) but those with active PTA's may be able to get free before and after care, which is necessary for some if summer school is now only 4 and a half hours.
