[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure that it is really tons easier to administratively do well at a more socioeconomically diverse title 1.  You will have kids working at a lot of different ability levels.  You will have sometimes difficult parents.  You will have behavior issues in upper elementary school.[/quote]

I think there are difficulties either way.  My child attends a Title 1 school that has attracted more UMC families in recent years.  The principal has changed their messaging and tone on certain policies recently because some UMC families were overly vocal and demanding.  [/quote]

We are at a similar school mentioned earlier on the thread. The kids who need title 1 funding really need it.  But the popular principal talks a lot about being diverse but caters to the loud UMC parents.  I liked the school more several years ago. It better served my child and kids who qualified for title 1 resources.  I know this because I am floater staff in the school.[/quote]

This is unfortunately a common issue when a larger population of privileged families joins a school.  And many principals listen to those families because they can be very persistent.  Luckily our principal seems to have held their ground more.  Those families often leave the school because they don’t get what they want.[/quote]

Will you share your school? We are very interested![/quote]
