[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not clear from your OP that you have *tried* the school.  Other than having poor kids, is it well regarded in the neighborhood?  Do people with school-aged kids like it?

I ask because my kids are at a Focus School and are thriving.  Small classes, actual differentiation, and a positive school atmosphere.  Folks within the community, though, lament losing Title I status because the school offered all sorts of free extracurricular activities with that additional funding that benefited all of the kids.

We haven't yet. He starts K next year. Part of me really wants to try it but hearing from others they make me feel like by going there, I'm ruining my kids future.... I like the small class sizes and extra resources invested. I was more concerned with classes going slower for English language learners and my kid getting lost.

I grew up in an area where kids were bussed in for "diversity" and I saw how much attention the staff spent with those kids. [b]I ended up dropping out of high school in my junior year because I felt like it was a waste of time... [/b]

I don't know anyone who sends their kids there so I'm not sure about what people have said about it. I know two families with young kids have gone private but I'm pretty sure they didn't even consider the school.  [/quote]
So YOU dropped out of school but blame it on the kids who stayed in school but were bussed in.
LOVE IT![/quote]
