[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School ratings do not mean "good" schools. It means good test scores and wealthy parents. Some of the best schools near us are Title 1 schools. So first break down your bias about what a "good school" actually is, then look around.[/quote] This is OP. We actually looked at a neighborhood feeding into a title 1. I was able to visit the elementary several times and was shocked by what goes on there. [/quote] No, title 1 schools are not good. Sorry. While the teachers may be good or even great, they are teaching a bunch of kids that are either far behind or not at grade level. If your child is working above grade level or even at grade level, they will not make progress. Plus more behavioral issues, more IEPs, etc. [/quote]
