[quote=Anonymous]I have no personal experience with Teraset, but just from their profile I would have some concerns. They have a significant FARM population (35%), but they are not a Title 1 school. That means they have some serious challenges to deal with, but don't have any extra funding, training, or personnel to deal with them, and class sizes are probably as big as in a school with just one or two percent FARM. If it were Title 1, I would say that there would be many benefits, such as smaller class sizes and the best training for teachers, but with their demographic they may be stuck in a situation where they have more problems than they can deal with alone but not enough to get help. I don't know that that is the case, but it is the case in some other fcps schools with that demographic, so I would be cautious. A school visit to the different schools might help you see the differences, if there are any.[/quote]
