[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect that of the same people who really want their schools to "flip" with more high SES IB children - or who celebrate when they do - are going to be claiming that their school should remain Head Start eligible.

You can't have it both ways.

Exactly and the school that comes to mind is Langley.  Lots of boosters on here about ECE being middle class, some families staying past ECE but lo and behold, now only preK 3 has the middle class families, not so much preK 4.  Guess the laundry comes out when it comes down to money.  LOL!

It's really no big secret in the neighborhood.  I don't know who is telling you ECE is middle class.  PK3 has the highest percentage of high-income kids, PK4 the next, and K less.  K is some low-income, some moderate-income and maybe like 10-15% higher-income. That is normal and to be expected as the class size increases and attrition is backfilled.  I don't know what numbers you need to qualify for Head Start funding now, but it is entirely plausible to me that a school could have some income diversity and still qualify.  The real question is how many kids are sufficiently low-income for Head Start rather than just slightly too high income to qualify.  [/quote]
