[quote=Anonymous]My kid has been at both a Title I school and a non-Title I school. I think Title I status is only one factor to look at when picking a school. I would say you want to look first at whether a school has strong leadership, high quality teachers who stick around, a calm, joyful well-run environment, high expectations for behavior, and a vibrant parent community. Both our schools had all those things and my kid thrived. By contrast, a friend's kid was at a sought-after non-Title I where kids were literally throwing chairs in class with no consequences and multiple teachers quit in the middle of the year out of frustration, and were not replaced. Her smart, capable kid was below grade level until they switched schools because learning wasn't happening in their classrooms. Those things would never happen at either school we went to - both the non-Title I and the Title I. [/quote]
